We thought this was a wonderful recipe and very close to the restaurant version that my wife loves. We are going to add a bit of hot italian sausage to the ground beef and think it will resemble the restaurant version even more. Keep up the good work.

I'm a 48 year old man who hasn't cooked much in the kitchen. Made this soup just as the recipe reads. Very easy and simple to make. It made a lot of soup. It was absolutely awesome! Gave about 75% of it to co-workers, all who said they loved it. I highly recommend this soup. Thank you CD Kitchen.

This soup is awesome. I used Italian seasoned diced tomatoes and eliminated the oregano. I also added a little sugar, maybe 1 1/2 teaspoons. Yummmm!

Excellent recipe. I substituted low sodium chicken stock and ground turkey and it is delicious. I made half of the recipe and had plenty to freeze for later. Family loved it.

By far the best soup I have ever made..It does have a lot of ingredients, but you can make it simple by buying the onions celery ect already chopped, my family LOVES this recipe..and every time I see my 3 year old nephew he asks me to make soup!! So yummy and in my opinion better than Olive Garden!

has anyone figured out the calorie count for 2 cups of pasta fagioli?

This is the second time I have made the soup. I thought it would be too much soup but the way my kids and family ate it, I decided to make the full batch again. This is truly a great recipe. It is also great to share.

My husband and I are putting together a list of our favorite recipes that we would like at least every 6 weeks. This soup made the cut! I went by the recipe, but added a small can of tomato sauce and about 1/4 cup sugar ( I usually do when tomatoes are involved ). Thanks for the recipe!

This is very easy to make and perfect to feed a crowd--I halve the recipe and it still feeds over 10 people easily. I cook the pasta to al dente separately and then add to each bowl as I serve it. Otherwise it sits in the soup and overcooks. Enjoy!!

this is my favorite soup at OG.....this recipe is amazing!!! The only thing I did differently was to increase the oregano and increase the hot sauce....I am thrilled with the result, as is my husband. Thank you so much!! I will be including this for any family get-togethers!!!

I made this dish for my large family of 8 plus my daughter's boyfriend and they all raved about how good it was. I was told that we have a new favorite.I did it just like the recipe call for. I would reccommend this to anyone.

I have this simmering now and the taste test is superb! I added some V-8 juice, some crushed red pepper flakes, salt and 1 tsp of chili powder, plus the recipe as written. Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing is very similar to OG dressing so it is soup, salad and bread stick night.
