The cold weather is upon us and it’s time for a bowl or two of a hearty soup. My go to soup in the winter is a Hearty Pasta Fagioli. This delicious main dish soup will fill you up and warm you up at the same time. I like to make my own ham stock but if you don’t have a ham bone or the time to do it you can use your own homemade chicken stock or a low sodium canned chicken stock you can pick up at the grocery store. (FYI you can get a ham bone for free or for very little cost at Honey Baked Ham stores. Usually they have a good amount of meat attached to the bone.)
I like to serve my Pasta Fagioli with a good artisan crusty bread and now you can even pick that up at the grocery. California’s famous LaBrae Bakery is selling Take-and-Bake loaves of their bread at Whole Foods and Fresh Market. It is really good and super convenient.
This recipe is quite large and it can easily be cut in half without any change in the taste or texture.
