This recipe is just the best. I make it any number of times during the year and it disappears almost as fast as I make it. Denise

I made this recipe and it was fantastic. The only addition I made was to saute the celery & onion in about two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Fantastic.

Excellent Recipe!! As far as other reviewers have said i did not find this recipe to spicy. I actually added 1/2 tsp of red peppers, turned out fantastic. The recipe may benefit from 1 more can of chicken broth as it was very thick but fantastic. This is especially tue if you plan to store the leftovers and reheat later.

This is the best pasta fagioli that I have ever tasted and I was raised on this stuff. What I love most is that it is affordable, easy, and delicious. The only bad thing is that it doesn't make a lot.

This recipe is very good BUT it was a bit tart (tomatoes) so I added a tbls. sugarand it was fine. Also, since I am Italian & missed a more beef flavor to the fagioli, I did what my Italian chef uncle used to do...dice up a beef hot dog in tiny pieces and add to it during a simmering phase. You wouldn't believe the difference...YUM! (I use organic beef hot dogs from Whole Foods). Thank you fo rthis recipe.

This recipe was a big hit with my family! We had a family dinner last week it was an Italian pot luck. I was told that I would never have to go to Olive Garden again for their soup. Thanks for the recipe :D ps. I used stewed tomatoes instead of peeling them and added more sauce and broth to have a more saucy soup. Great recipe!

This was great! I used this as a starting point and I made some changes. I do not like fresh tomatoes so I used 2 cans of stewed and cut the broth in half. I also added shreaded carrots, more seasoning and lean ground beef. It came out more as a stew then a soup and even my husband liked it and he usually prefers a more hearty meal. Thanks Star Pooley for this one!

Way too much red pepper for my taste. Next time I'll cut down on the red pepper and it will be perfect.

I got addicted to Pasta Fagioli thanks to the Olive Garden. Since that's quite a drive from here, I had to feed my addiction by creating my own! This recipe makes an amazinly delicious soup. The Spinach pasta is key (I have tried other varieties but it's just not the same). I have of couse tweaked this recipe to my own tastes since then, but it didn't have far to go to perfection. So easy, so good!!!

Made this with normal pasta not spinach on several occasions. Now a regular in my house, I even remember this one of the top of my house now! Yummy but don't freeze and reheat it unless you don't mind tha pasta absorbing all the sauce

Two thumbs up! This soup has become my new favorite!!! Instead of the 2 regular tomatoes, I used 1 can of the "Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano." And, I love spicey foods so I doubled the amount of red pepper. Perfect! Way to go Star Pooley!

This soup was delicious. Hubby and I both loved it and I plan to make it often. The only change I made was that I used a one pound can of stewed tomatoes in place of the fresh tomatoes and tomato sauce.
