Recipe

So, a few people have asked me to post some of my favorite recipes. And I have decided to post one every now and then. Maybe weekly, who knows. We will see how much time I am left at the end of the day. But to start things off... Here is one of my favorite soup recipes.

Mostly because it takes only 12 min. to prepare. YIPPEE! We are all busy moms right!

Pasta Fagioli Soup

2 cans of beef broth

1 can of Great Northern beans, drained.

1 can of diced tomatoes, undrained. (I used Italian Tomatoes)

2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced.

1 tbs. olive oil

1 ½ tsp. minced garlic

½ tsp. dried basil leaves

½ tsp. dried oregano leaves

½ c. uncooked tubetti, ditali pasta

½ c. garlic croutons

½ Parmesan cheese

1. combine broth, beans, tomatoes with juice, zucchini, oil, garlic, basil, and oregano in slow cooker. Mix well. Cover; cook on low for 3-4 hours.
2. 2. Stir in pasta. Cover; cook on low 1 hour or until pasta is tender. (just threw pasta in to begin with)
3. Serve soup with croutons and cheese. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Makes 5 – 6 servings. Prep time: 12 minutes Cook time: 4-5 hours

FYI: I added this recipe on "My Girls' Kitchen" blog that Heather started.
