Pasta e fagioli soup is an easy and delicious recipe to make for your family! This version is gluten free and vegan.
I thought that I’d start off my 31 Day Series with a soup recipe. Mostly because I LOVE soup so much, and once fall arrives I just have to bust out all my soup recipes right away. Â Pretty much all of my favorite soup recipes have beans of some sort. Chili, white bean soup, black bean soup, bean soup for babies…the list goes on.
Pasta e fagioli soup is one of my favorite recipes. It’s very filling and tasty. I think it looks pretty, too, with the dark green kale and the red tomatoes. I love a nice colorful bowl of soup.
I’ve been really happy with both the DeLallo brand of gluten free pasta and the Barilla brand (affiliate links).  If you can’t get those brands, just use your favorite gluten free pasta. And if you aren’t gluten free, go ahead and use regular pasta! This recipe for pasta e fagioli is flexible. :)
Recipe
Pasta e Fagioli Soup.
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic sliced

- 1 onion chopped
- 15 ounces Italian style diced tomatoes
- 32 ounces vegetable broth

- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup curly kale leaves torn into small pieces
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the garlic and chopped onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about seven minutes.
- Add the broth, water, and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add the pasta. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. (It should be bubbling still).

Ooh…do you know what would be perfect with this soup? These breadsticks. Just warm from the oven with lots of butter. Yum! Or, how about these homemade crackers? Now I’m just making myself hungry.

This is just such a perfect and delicious dinner for me to make for my vegetarian family. You can definitely consider that I will be recreating the recipe..
Kelly
I hope your family enjoys it! :)

I had this as a vegetarian option while I was in Italy, and it was delicious! Unfortunately the one I had was overseasoned… I can’t wait to begin making soups again now that the weather is getting cooler!
Kelly
I hope you like this version!

It’s been a little bit since I’ve come to visit you here on the blog. I’ve been keeping up with you on Instagram, though. Looking forward to these next 30 days!!!
Kelly
Hi Kim! Nice to see you again!
Julia
I could seriously eat soup every day of my life for multiple meals, haha! I love how cozy it is! This soup is fabulous! I’ll have to snuggle up to the recipe over the weekend! xo
Kelly
I know, I love soup so much, too! I ate it for breakfast yesterday. :)
Lucien
That looks utterly perfect for a cool fall day. Thank you for sharing!

Natalie @ Tastes Lovely
I love this italian soup. So healthy and satisfying. Beautiful pictures!
Kelly
Thank you, Natalie!
Kristen @ Joyfully Thriving
I love soup, too! Would you believe I’ve never bought kale before? I do have spinach in the fridge. I wonder if that would work as a substitution? Looking forward to your series this year, again!
Kelly
Yes, spinach will work fine! It will wilt much faster though, so I would just add it a minute or two before the soup is finished cooking. The kale is tougher so it needs longer to cook.
Allison
This is one of my favourite soups! I am so looking forward to this intense month of comfy cozy eats on your blog! :)
Kelly
Thanks, Allison! :)

This looks soooo much better than Olive Garden’s version of e fagioli soup! All I’m craving these days are soup upon soup, so this is definitely gonna have to happen here!
Kelly
Thanks, Sarah!
