For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
Add a Parmesan cheese rind to the soup while it simmers for extra depth of flavor. Remove before serving.
If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the kidney beans before adding them to the pot.
A swirl of pesto or a drizzle of good-quality olive oil adds a lovely finishing touch.

    I've tried many Pasta e Fagioli recipes, and this one is by far the best. The long simmer really makes a difference in the flavor. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.

  • Pete Zboncak

    I made this vegetarian and it was still amazing! The herbs and tomatoes create such a rich flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Adelle Kuhlman

    This recipe is a lifesaver! It's so easy to make and tastes like it came from a fancy Italian restaurant. The family devoured it!
