I want you to see how quickly and easily this soup is made, so I did a quick video to demo the steps.

Don’t you just want to make this part of your family dining tradition? I grew up in an Italy obsessed family. Most of our holiday traditions, family meals, and even conversations usually related back to Italy in one way or another. A huge pot of “gravy” a big crusty loaf, lots of pasta, plenty of gelato (okay…ice cream), and even the occasional roasted chestnuts. My love of food is really rooted in growing up in a food loving family that constantly experimented in Italian cuisine.

When I first got to visit Italy it was like all my dreams came true in one lemon gelato! Hahaha

Throw in the Vatican and finding roasted chestnut vendors on the street corners, and it was perfection.

I loved every pizza, pasta, and gelato I ate, and the Piazza Navona Tartufo!!! Out of this world.

Italian Made Easy!

Italy knows food. That is for sure. And I love making Italian sauces. But honestly I don’t have time to always simmer my sauce as long as it needs simmering, so I rely on amazing companies, with great heritages, and a fabulous story, not to mention mouthwatering products, to do it for me.

We always eat soup on Christmas Eve around here. And I love a good Italian soup. Pasta e Fagioli is my favorite!

I remember as a kid just dying to go to a popular chain Italian restaurant. I had heard so many things about it, and wanted to try it for myself. Having 10 kids in my family meant we went out to eat very rarely. But one day, I finally got to go. The bread sticks and salad were amazing. I couldn’t wait for my main course. And then my main course came, and I was sorely disappointed. It was not what I was expecting. When the server asked what was wrong I wanted to cry, my noodles were mushy, and I was really bumming, so he brought out a bowl of soup, and all was right with the world again. And so started my love affair with Pasta E Fagioli.

A Resourceful Single Mom

One thing I absolutely love about making this soup is how quickly and easily it comes together if you use a few shortcuts. One of my favorite shortcuts is to use Ragu Hearty Traditional sauce in it. Rather than mixing your own spice blend, and hoping the tomatoes you use have the right acidity and sweetness, I just pop open the lid and pour. Absolutely delicious.

Assunta, the founder of Ragu was an immigrant to the US, and a resourceful single mom. She started making her amazing sauces to help support her family. It was a family recipe passed down generation after generation, and now I get to use it in some of my own family traditions. I love it. And I guarantee my kids will be making this recipe for years to come. Hopefully with their own families on Christmas Eve.
