Pasta E Fagioli

Sort of ... It has a variety of beans whereas, most of the times this soup doesn't, but it's close enough for government work. ;)















Pasta E Fagioli
1 cup Carrots Shredded
1.5 cup Celery chopped
2 or 3 cloves garlic minced
1 Onion chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
8 cups Vegetarian "Beef" Broth
Beans of your choice (usually cannellini beans)
2 Tablespoons dry Italian Herb Blend.
Pasta of your choice
Olive Oil

In a pot saute the vegetables until soft. Add the broth, beans and Italian Herb Blend. Cook until beans are soft -- usually 3-4 hours. Add water as needed (I usually add about 3-4 cups of water by the time the whole thing is over). About 20 minutes before serving, add the pasta and cook until done. Serve with some parmesan cheese on top and a side of fresh bread.
