Pasta Fagioli Soup Crockpot
There is something about a big pot of soup that just hits, especially when it is this hearty and filling. This one comes out rich, loaded with flavor, and feels like a full meal all in one bowl.
Why you’ll love Pasta Fagioli
This soup is packed with beans, beef, and pasta which makes it so hearty and satisfying. The flavors all come together as it cooks and create that classic Italian style soup that is rich and comforting.
It is super easy to throw together and perfect for when you want something warm and filling without a lot of effort. It is one of those meals that tastes even better after it sits.

Leftovers/storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Since this soup has pasta, it will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, so when reheating just add a little broth or water and give it a stir to bring it back to the right consistency. It reheats really well and still tastes just as good the next day.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different type of pasta?
Yes, you can use other small pasta shapes if you do not have ditalini. Just keep the size similar so it cooks evenly.
Can I make this without meat?
Yes, you can leave out the ground beef and it will still be a hearty soup. It turns into more of a vegetable and bean based version that is still really good.
Do I have to use both types of beans?
You can adjust the beans based on what you have. Using a mix gives it a better texture, but it will still taste great either way.
