Copycat: Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli soup
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home
We are not big chain restaurant people. Nothing against them at all, but we live on the outskirts of a city with amazing local restaurants. We are always dragging our kids to the latest hole-in-the wall Vietnamese or Thai restaurant, or trying something that just opened in a new and different neighborhood. That said, if our kids are given free reign to choose a restaurant the will choose Olive Garden every time and, truth be told, Jeff and I always get a little excited when they do.
We rarely go because the wait is So. Freaking. Long. But on the rare occasion we can slip in at 4:30 pm on a Monday, we so look forward to stuffing our faces with unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. The Pasta e Fagioli soup is a family favorite and, years ago, I did a crock pot version which was delish. But the other day I went to a luncheon where the host made this stove-top version and it was so good. Like even a little better than the original. I know. Impossible, right" I made it again last night just to be sure it wasn't my I-forgot-to-eat-breakfast tummy responding to any kind of actual food, but everyone agreed. This is good stuff. And it's pretty much a dump and stir recipe, so it's realllllly hard to mess it up.
