It is a bit more labor intensive and NOT for vegetarians, but it's so AWESOME!!!<br /><br /><br />Meat:<br /><br />1/2 lb. of bacon cooked till done, but not crispy<br /><br />1 lb. of hamburger crumbled<br /><br />1/4 lb. of sliced and halved peperoni<br /><br />3 It. sweet sausage links taken out of casings and crumbled<br /><br /> <br /><br />Veg/ Spices<br /><br />2 carrots chopped finely<br /><br />2 celery stocks chopped finely<br /><br />2 sm. white/yellow onion chopped finely (or one med/ lg.)<br /><br />2 hand fulls of flat leaf It. parsley<br /><br />3 teaspoons of oregano (from spice rack)<br /><br />2 teaspoons of black pepper<br /><br /> <br /><br />Canned stuff:<br /><br />2- 15 oz. cans of diced Italian tomatoes w/ basil, etc already in the can<br /><br />1 - 15 oz. can of stewed tomatoes<br /><br />1- 20 oz jar of spaghetti sauce<br /><br />8 cups of beef broth (you can buy cans or just add beef cubes to water like I did--cheaper!!)<br /><br />1- 15. oz. can of garbanzo beans<br /><br />1- 15 oz. can of kidney beans<br /><br />1- 15. oz can of white beans (like a northern)<br /><br /> <br /><br />Pasta: Ditalini or whatever style you like :) <br /><br /> <br /><br />I crumbled my ground beef fine like you were making tacos, drained fat. Throw it in the crock pot. I lightly cooked a half lb. of bacon (still very bendable bacon---not firm or crispy). Throw it in the crock pot. It. sausage (see above) and throw it in there. I cooked the pasta firm/ al dente, added a little margarine so it wouldn't stick together and put it in a gallon size freezer bag. Throw it in the fridge. Keep pasta separate!! I cut up my onion, carrots, and celery put in a micro safe boil and nuked it for about 20-25 mins until tender b/c I did my crock pot for 4 hours vs. 8-10 hrs. Drained water and threw that in the crock pot too. Added all my beans, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, beef broth, chopped up parsley, cut up pepperoni, etc. Then I left it alone for four hours until it was really hot! <br /><br /> <br /><br />This was the best soup I've ever made and def a contender for Olive Garden's Pasta e Fagioli recipe like the recipe I used said, although I added the garbanzo beans myself and the peperoni.TuckerMomof3https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802123418280242899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910107304415404806.post-12510932840796109322010-10-05T21:04:58.547-04:002010-10-05T21:04:58.547-04:00Marie,

My variations were that I used ground turkey instead of beef, I added chopped celery, and even though I cut the recipe in half for my smaller size crock pot, I still used 4 cups of beef broth...and I could have even added more! I just never seem to have enough broth when I am done. I also used canned beans (1 can kidney and 1 can northern). We really love it!!!Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910107304415404806.post-80195923661724733762010-10-03T13:06:31.946-04:002010-10-03T13:06:31.946-04:00Marie,
