Bean Soup also know as Pasta Fagioli

Oct3

Talking today about Italian Bean soup.  It was my aunt’s birthday the other day so I baked some cupcakes made her a card and brought her lunch. The Lunch was pasta Fagioli I am no even sure if this how you spell it.

This soups warms you from the inside out.

Pasta Fagiola is an Italian bean soup. It’s delicious if you make it right. It’s really awful if you make it wrong. It’s a  soup that will turn into a  thick bowl of pasta if you are not careful.

I have been struggling for years to find just the right combination of ingredients. Believe me I have tried so many ,they are either too complicated,time consuming or just plain blah. So one day I looked on the Barilla website . “Who knows pasta better than Barilla? ” There it was a simple recipe I could make my own. I can now say I have successfully produced a tasty bowl of Pasta Fagioli

Every wedding you attend there is a featured attraction the older aunts and uncles., The Aunts that  love to watch all the young people have fun,laughing dancing,tapping glasses,posing for pictures cutting the cake and throwing the bouquet.
