Olive garden pasta fajoli soup

Yield: 1 Servings E

Ingredients:

1 40 oz. can Clamato juice 1 lb. lean ground beef (cooked) 1 26 oz.

Instructions:

can pureed tomatoes 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 1 14 oz. can consomme 4 stalks celery (chopped) 1 14 oz. can water 4 carrots (thinly sliced) 3 T. chicken soup base half a medium cabbage (shredded) 1 19 oz. can kidney beans 1 19 oz. can navy beans 1 t. oregano 1 t. basil 1/4 t. hot paprika 1/4 t. garlic powder 1 1/2 cups corkscrew pasta (cooked) 1. Bring Clamato juice tomatoes consomme and rest of ingredients from the first column to a boil. Simmer for half an hour. 2. Saute ground beef until browned thoroughly and set aside. 3. Saute vegetables (onion celery carrots and cabbage) until soft. Add to soup and simmer for another half an hour. 4. Add kidney beans navy beans cooked pasta and meat. Continue to simmer for another 20 minutes. This makes a great meal accompanied by bread or buns of your choice and a green salad. NOTE: I omitted the beans (my family doesn't like them) and the cabbage (didn't have any in the fridge) and the soup was still an overwhelming success without them. Shared by: Susan Bewick Mar/95.
