Rachael Ray Pasta Fagioli Soup Recipe

You see, I'm convinced that a warm bowl of pasta e fagioli brings you foodie comfort no matter the season.
Rachael Ray's version is both hearty and easy to prepare, bringing together simple ingredients like pancetta and rosemary to create that rich and savory soup we all love.
This soup is so adaptable - you can swap out pancetta for sausage if you're craving an extra kick.
One key trick is to let the herbs simmer just long enough for the leaves to separate from their stems—this infuses the soup perfectly without overpowering it.
