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
