It was easy to make and fairly cheap, too. I used elbow macaroni since it is what I had. Tasted almost like vegetable soup. It wasn't bad, but nothing special to repeat.

This is just as good as Olive Garden. I was amazed at how easy this was to make. I added a teaspoon of sugar and a 1/2 lb of beef just to have some substance to the soup and it is DELISH !!!! Great with salad and bread sticks.

This is a great recipe. Turned out very good. I added Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage links to this and it gave it what it needed. My only recommendation is that you wait until you are ready to serve it to add the pasta. It tends to get mushy. And if you want some for leftovers, keep the pasta separate and add when you serve as well.

Good recipe. I used rather more chicken broth than tomato sauce & added some oregano as well. Also ran some tomatoes from our local farmer's market through a food processor for the tomato bit. It's one of those dishes that tastes even better after brewing a day or two. A really satisfying soup. Thanks!

This recipe was very easy to make and was very tasty. I used 4 cans each of tomato sauce and chicken broth and that ended up being the perfect amount. I like my pasta fagioli a bit on the thicker side so I added a small amount of heavy cream. Next time I might try a bit of corn starch to make it thicker. All in all, great recipe!

This was just okay. It was too much like tomato soup. I added another can of chicken broth and more spices and it was pretty good. Thanks anyway!

This recipe was delicious and a meal in itself. My wife used vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.

This recipe was delicious and so colorful and pleasantly satisfying!! I loved the vegetarian friendliness! :-) I cut out a little of the oil and upped the garlic cloves to 1/2 TBSP per batch. (I had to make four!) It turned out great! I might try with small white onions next time and experiment with other veggies. Thank you, thank you!!

I made this for a girl's night in and it was a hit! The only changes I made were that I used about half a small onion (the recipe says one slice?)and after I had sauteed the veggies and added the liquid (I eyeballed it using some chicken stock granules), I cooked the pasta right in the broth to save time and dishes. When the pasta was al dente, I added one can of tomato sauce (15 oz. I think?) and one can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs in it, plus the can of white beans. Oh and I also had precooked some Italian sausage and drained it realy well, and then added it at the end with the beans. I also put a couple of teaspoons of sugar to balance the tartness of the tomato. Very good recipe, especially with some crusty French bread. Will definitely make again!

I really liked this recipe. Here are the changes I made: I added an entire finely chopped onion, one bay leaf, 2 T. fresh parsley instead of dried, and an additional garlic clove. For the broth I used equal parts tomato sauce and chicken broth (about 32 oz. each). Served with some homemade garlic bread.

I find it so irritating when someone completely changes a recipe and then gives a mediocre review. Here I am having changed the recipe but I am giving a positive review. As some suggested I switched the amounts of broth and tomato sauce, then I didn't hsve any beans except for a can of pork and beans which I used. I then used elbow macaroni for the pasta. My husband, the soup lover, liked it a lot. It would be better with the beans in the recipe but much to my surprise the pork and bean worked OK. Thanks for the good recipe.

This is indeed easy and delicious. I doubled the amount of vegetables and substituted one can of diced tomatoes for 16 oz. of the tomato sauce. It was well-liked by us all.

I thought this was a great soup! I added ground beef to make it a little heartier for my family. I also increased the chicken stock as others have suggested, turned out delicious!

It was a cold day here in Chicago (we saw our first snow flurries)! I knew right away I needed something warm and filling, and looking through my recipe box, I stumbled onto this little gem. It was the perfect meal, this is to DIE for! I've never had pasta fagioli before, so I really can't compare it to anything. But this tasted absolutely wonderful! The only change I made was omitting the carrots, as I didn't have any on hand. I wish I had tried this one out sooner! But now I know it is a keeper for sure, thank you so much Cindy!
