    Slow Cooker Pasta e Fagioli

    I’ll admit it.

    We’re not the most “cultured” family.  We like simple things…comfortable clothes, a home-cooked meal of comfort foods, and we are happy liking these simple things.  We’ll take a home-cooked meal over a fancy restaurant any day.

    Sometimes, though, it is nice to go out, and one of our favorite places to eat is Olive Garden.  Anyone else have a hard time pronouncing some of the food items on their menu?  I’m hoping it is not just us.

    This pasta e fagioli soup is something we often order at Olive Garden. I’m pretty sure we say the name of this soup differently every time we order it.  I try so hard to listen to the waitress as she patiently repeats the soup name said the right way, and I still can’t remember it.

    …{pasta fa-zool}… {pasta fa-jo-lee}…

    Let’s just say that I’m glad I’m sharing this recipe with you by writing and not by speaking.  That way those of you who know your Italian food won’t laugh at my lack of sophistication.

    Regardless of the correct pronunciation, this Slow Cooker Pasta e Fagioli needs to be on your dinner menu this winter.  It’s chock-full of beans, tomatoes, veggies, pasta and beef.

    This is going to take minimal prep in the morning.  Brown the ground beef, drain the fat, then add the beef and the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot.  Leave it to simmer all day long in the slow cooker and end up with a hearty soup for your family dinner!

    Here’s a serving hint…

    Matt and I try to limit the amount of carbs we have.  So when a soup calls for rice or noodles, we cook them separately.  That way, the kids can still enjoy the little bit of pasta in the soup, but we can have it without!

    So how do you pronounce this soup’s name?

        This was very good. I added more of the veggies and added potatoes and tomato paste. Fabulous!

        Delicious! I have also made this with ground turkey and chicken broth (veg stock can be used too. I tried that when I was out of chicken broth) and left out the tobacco for the turkey version. Made it for a card and supper night and everyone at the table gave it high praise. All took home the recipe!

        Are the oregano and parsley fresh or dried herbs?
        Sounds great.
