Bacon Pasta Fagioli Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans great Northern beans, undrained
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chopped spinach, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 8 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 pound seashell pasta
  • Romano cheese
Instructions
1
Combine the tomatoes, chicken broth, beans, water, spinach, tomato sauce, crumbled bacon, garlic, parsley, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and basil in a large stockpot.
2
Heat the mixture over high heat until it reaches a rolling boil, then cover the pot and lower the heat to a simmering pace.
3
Allow the soup to cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the flavors have melded together.
4
Add the pasta to the pot and continue cooking, uncovered, until it reaches your desired level of doneness - still slightly resistant to the bite, but tender and satisfying.
5
Spoon the hot soup into individual serving bowls and top each bowl with a generous sprinkle of Romano cheese.
