Pasta Fagioli

I love soup. I came to the realization that I'm drawn to soup recipes because they're easy, comforting, and an easy way to get J to eat veggies!!! This time of year is an excuse for me to make as much soup as I want and feel justified. :)

Pasta Fagioli

Ingredients:
2 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3 carrots, chopped

1 c celery, chopped

2- 28 oz cans diced tomatoes

16 oz. kidney beans, drain

16 oz while kidney bean, drain

4 c beef stock

2 t oregano

2 t pepper

5 t parsley

1 t Louisiana hot sauce

20 oz traditional spaghetti sauce

8 oz pasta of choice

Directions:
Brown ground beef

Add all ingredients except pasta into slow cooker
Cook low 7-8 hours

Cook and add pasta

*We like a little kick so I think next time I may add more Louisiana or add some Rotel instead of just plain diced tomatoes.
