Summer is upon us, yet here I am sharing more soup recipes with you. Like I said many times, we’re soup lovers so we eat soup year round. But did you know pasta e fagioli simply means pasta and beans?

Pasta e fagioli is a classic Italian peasant soup loaded with beans and pasta. You could add meat to it if you prefer but mine is vegetarian, making this soup super healthy, yet still hearty and delicious.

I’m also still in love with my Instant Pot. I use that thing every chance I get. I especially love to use it to make soups because in 30 minutes you’re all done and ready to eat. And that includes the time required for the natural release cycle to complete as well.

This soup is also quite versatile. Use any kind of beans you like, use any pasta you like or even go ahead and add more veggies to it.

Recipe Notes

What is an Instant Pot: An IP is a multi-cooker, it's like seven different appliances all in one! It does the job of a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, etc.

 

I don't have an Instant Pot, can I still make this: Yes! Follow the same instructions by adding the ingredients to a soup pot, and cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your preference.

 

Nutrition: Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
