SLOW COOKER PASTA FAGIOLI SOUP
I found this recipe in the owner's guide for my Rival Smart-Pot Programmable Crock Pot. If you use the vegetable broth option this meal will be vegan. You could always add beef or vegetarian meatballs for a heartier soup.

Steps:
- Drizzle the olive oil into a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, for 1 minute. Splash in about 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour into slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker, add remaining vegetable broth, cabbage, carrots, zucchini if using, beans, and tomatoes. (If you're adding 1 pound ground beef to the entire batch, you can cook and drain ground beef well and add it now.) Cook for 8 hours on low (5-6 hours on high should also do the trick).
- 30 minutes before the cooking process ends, add pasta and put lid back on the Crock Pot.* Continue cooking on low until tender.
- *At this point, if you're adding ground beef to half, set a large saucepan over medium heat, add the 1/2 pound ground beef, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Transfer a little less than half the soup to the pan with the ground beef and let simmer, covered, until pasta is completely tender and soup is heated through.
- Stir in red wine vinegar (divide between separate pots if doing the half-meaty version) and taste. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley and/or basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and pass with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Using high-quality ingredients will greatly enhance the flavor of your soup. Look for fresh vegetables, a flavorful broth, and high-quality pasta.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Cannellini beans, great northern beans, and kidney beans are all good options.
- If you don't have any Italian sausage, you can substitute ground beef or ground turkey.
- If you want a thicker soup, add more pasta or beans. You can also mash some of the beans with a fork to thicken the soup.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
