This was great! Family loved it. Tasted even better 2 days later. Used 2 1/2 cups each of water and chicken broth and then 1/2 cup of red wine. This is a keeper. Thanks for the recipe.

Yum! I love this soup. I followed the recipe except for the noodles, I just used whatever I have leftover.

Yummy! Makes a ton--next time I'll probably cut in half, as there are only three of us and it's more than we can eat in a couple of days. Also, next time I'll look at the can labels before I open them--instead of grabbing the cannellini and navy beans I grabbed the pinto and black bean cans that were right next to cannellini/navy. Whoops. It was still tasty.

This was ok, but I much prefer the recipe found on Olive Garden's web site. We love their soups and when I have made it I have gotten rave reviews.

PLEASE PEOPLE DO NOT BUTCHER THIS RECIPE! This is exactly what a true Italian Pasta Fagioli is supose to be. Both my 100% Italian Father and Mother-in-law make it almost exactly like this. It is suppose to be more of a beans and pasta dish than a soup. The only thing that I did was added a can of diced tomato's, extra garlic and substituted chicken broth/red wine for the water as that is the way my Dad does it. This is authentic:-) Thanks Andrea!

DELICIOUS. I USED WHAT I HAD - SMALL WHITE BEANS AND BLACK BEANS. I ALSO WANTED TO USE UP MY CHICKEN BROTH SO I ADDED 1 CUP BROTH AND 3 CUPS WATER. I CUT THE WATER DOWN BECAUSE I ALSO ADDED A CAN OF STEWED TOMATOES. THE PASTA I HAD ON HAND WAS SMALL PENNE. I USED ABOUT 1/4 - 1/3 OF A BOX.

I loved this!!! It brought me back to when I was little and my grandmother or mother would make this dish. I forgot to buy the ditalini pasta so I used elbow. (so not the Italian way) :( I wouldn't use as much pasta next time. I rather it be a stew like consistency then like a soup. I will make this again and again!!!!!!!!

I thought this was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I think I will decrease the pasta and increase the beans.

Delicious soup. I didn't have a large can of tomato sauce so I used crushed tomatoes. It had a slightly sweet taste. My husband loved it and is planning to take leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I made a few changes, based on what I had in my pantry. Chicken broth for the water, added carrots, and used mini elbow macaroni. Advice for people who think it is too soupy: drain the beans (this also reduces the sodium), use pasta sauce instead of canned tomatoes (but if you use canned tomatoes, drain them), or decrease the water. Enjoy!

I really didn't care for this soup (and I'm a soup person). It needed vegetables: carrots, celery, zucchini. Way to salty. I could barely eat this it was sooo salty! The base (tomato sauce and water)-- definitely not the greatest taste.

I gave this recipe 5 stars without having to make it. I know it is good because it is almost exactly like the one my Italian mom made for me and what I make for my family.The only exceptions are I do not add onions.I am sure it would be a welcome addition making the dish a little sweeter if that is what you like.Also I like to add a Knorrs vegetarian boullion cube,then omit extra salt.This is one of my families favorites and very easy.Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes or petite diced depending on what I have same goes for the pasta elbows ,shells,etc. One product I do prefer to use is Progresso Cannelini beans they stay firm also the juice they are packed in is less gelatin like then others.I do agree with a comment that was made in a review about not changing this recipe into something it is not. It is beans and pasta, great in its simplicity an Italian peasant dish. Oh and don't forget to sprinkle parmesan on top!

This was awesome!! A crisp autumn day, and hot soup - perfect. I didn't realize that I did not have a large can of tomato sauce so used the small can I had, then added two cans of stewed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes. This one is a keeper!

Start by saying that I am 100% Italian. This is a recipe for pasta fagioli an Italian soup that means "pasta with beans". I don't understand why people want to modify every recipe and then turn it into what is not. Pasta Fagioli does not have ground meat,carrots,celery etc. It has pasta, tomato and beans. people have turned this dish into beef and vegetable soup with pasta. You should try a recipe as it is and then review accordingly, otherwise you are reviewing your own recipe. By the way this recipe as it stands is very good.

This is delicious already, and I haven't even let it simmer for very long! I did add 3 carrots, 2 celery ribs, and 2 zucchini, all chopped, and a 15oz can of Italian stewed tomatoes (chopped) and 15oz sauce for a little veggie-ness. I will be making this again and again!
