Healthier Olive Garden Pasta E Fagioli Soup image

This recipe is wonderful. It tastes just like Olive Garden's, but a tiny bit healthier because of the ground turkey breast vs. beef. Both ways are wonderful!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground turkey breast
2 small onions, diced (1 cup)
2 large carrots, julienned (1 cup)
3 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans (with liquid)
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans (with liquid)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
0.5 (1/2 lb) package ditali pasta

Steps:

  • Brown the ground turkey in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Strain the fat.
  • Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except pasta, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • About 50 minutes into simmer time, cook the pasta in 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of boiling water over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes or just until pasta is al dente, or slightly tough. Drain.
  • Add the pasta to the large pot of soup.
  • Simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve.
  • ***I sometimes cook the noodles and leave out of the soup-this way, the guests can add as many as they would like and it freezes better without the noodles in it!

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I made a few substitutions, like using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and adding some chopped carrots and celery. It turned out great! I will definitely be making this soup again.
