Soup is such a great way to get some use homemade bone broth and get all of those rich vitamins and minerals into your family’s bodies. When you make your own beef bone broth, this Pasta e Fagioli Soup is even more amazing!
My husband loves Olive Garden’s Pasta e Fagioli soup and there’s a lot of copy-cat recipes out there, but this is our favorite version that I’ve tweaked to our tastes.
For your own preferences, you can change what type of beans you use. Try kidney, navy, pinto, or a combination of beans. Instead of carrots and green beans, you could add celery, kale, peas, or other veggies that you and your family loves.
Good beef bone broth is a must for good Pasta e Fagioli! It makes all the difference. For the how to, step by step, process with pictures see: How to Make Beef Bone Broth.
