Pasta e Fagioli, the traditional Italian pasta and bean soup now as a gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free recipe! This easy and inexpensive soup is humble with ingredients but full of flavor! Quick to make for a light weeknight meal or simple lunch option that the kids will love too!

This soup! My absolute favorite soup as a kid, pre-celiac diagnosis. In our household, we called it “The Bean Soup” and it solely came from The Kitchen’s of Progresso and their lovingly canned heat-and-eat blue labeled “Macaroni & Bean Soup“. This canned version of Pasta e Fagioli could give any Italian grandmother a run for her money. My mom would heat up a can on the stove and fill up a soup thermos to pack for our school lunches. One of the best (besides whole wheat pbj) lunches to find packed in our bags! So deliciously “soul-satisfying” with it’s gluten-free, dairy, egg, soy, and processed soup sodium levels…it was perfect.Read More
