Simple slow cooker version of the classic Italian soup Pasta e Fagioli that will rival any restaurant recipe around. Makes enough to feed a crowd, absolutely delicious.
We love dining out as a family. It is one of our favorite things to do to spend time together. But it seems that finding time when we are all available to go is getting harder & harder. With 2 kids working, our work schedules, one in college, 2 homeschooled, running a home business & all the activities, it is rare for us all to dine together. That makes me sad, but it is a reality of kids growing up & starting their own lives. So we often resort to making our favorite “restaurant-style” recipes from some of our favorite cookbooks instead. This Slow Cooker Pasta e Fagioli Soup is one we love to make again & again.

I was inpsired by a traditional version of Pasta e Fagioli Soup in Everyday Food Cookbook by Martha Stewart Living a long time ago & have been making our own version in the slow cooker for a while. You see, I’m always looking for new & creative ways to add beans to our meals (because they make it tastier & healthier) & this recipe is perfect for that.
I particularly love red kidney beans like these from S&W Beans. S&W Beans has the highest standards in the industry, premium quality carried on for over 120 years. I love the HUGE variety of beans they offer AND they come in a Less Sodium version & Organic too. How great is that? They really are a great way to make my recipes healthier for the whole family. You can’t beat that!

This recipe does not say when to put the V8 juice in, weather or not to cook noodles first or if you are to turn the heat down (cooking on high) or up (cooking on low) after putting noodles and beans in. I did not cook the noodles and I left it on high after adding noodles and beans, added V8 in the beginning and then this soup really surprised me it was delicious. Just another note I cut the recipe in half with the full amount of beef broth and 11 oz of V8 this made just the right amount of broth for this busy soup.

The ingredients are great, but it is a horrible ratio of veggies and meat to broth. It’s not a soup at all, its like a pasta… does not work in regular sized crock pot, I didn’t add a lot of the veggies and beans it called for because my crockpot was over flowing, plus there already wasn’t enough broth. For how much it made it doesn’t keep up at all, the noodles turned to mush by the end of the night. Also I would recommend about 4 times the seasoning.
