Directions
Pasta E Fagioli Soup With Ground Beef and Spinach, this is a delicious hearty soup that is best if prepared a day ahead to blend the flavors, you can use fresh plum tomatoes in place of canned, make certain to blanch then peel the tomatoes firsly Use your own favorite pasta sauce for this, homemade or purchased, if you like more beans then add in more! This makes a lot of soup but you can reduce to half or freeze for another meal It is important to simmer this soup over a low heat uncovered for a longer time so that the soup will reduce and thicken and the flavors blend together, the longer it is simmered the better it will be, this soup can also be made in a crockpot but you will need to brown the beef with veggies in a skillet firstly — the spinach may be replaced with zucchini or use both — you will love this soup!, Firstly, thank you so much for sharing this amazing and hearty soup recipe! My neighbor & I often deliver a tasting sampler of whatever is on our table She has given me this soup several times so I decided to make one for myself It turned out absolutely delectable! Very nice & comforting on a chilly day but I have found that it serves just as well at room temperature in the warmer months Thanks again for sharing!
