This is my son's favorite soup. He thinks it tastes just like Olive Gardens. Never any leftovers with this soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

ingredients

1 lb hamburger
1 cup diced onion
1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup chopped celery
2 minced garlic cloves
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon black pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon thyme
¹⁄₂ lb ditali pasta, al dente

directions

Brown the hamburger, drain off the fat.
Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and sauté until onion is clear (approx 10 minutes).
Add everything else except pasta, and simmer on low for one hour.
I add the pasta and simmer for 5-10 minutes, however, if you are not going to eat this right away, keep the pasta seperate so the pasta does not soak up all the sauce.
Enjoy.

Delicious... everyone liked it (usually my 5 year old doesn't like anything). We will definitely make this again... my DH and I had to have seconds. I left it sitting an hour after making it while my kids had swimming lessons... so all the liquid was soaked up in the pasta (I used Orzo bc I didn't have the other). I just added 2 cups of water so it had a soupy texture. So flavorful! Thanks.

I have never tasted Olive Gardens Fagioli soup. So whether it is or isnt OG recipe, I couldnt say .But I can say this soup tasted really good! It is full of flavor and very satisfying. It was easy and quick to prepare, and I will be making it again. Delicious!

I love this recipe! I have made it several times and can't get enough of it. Other than adding two cups of beef broth and keeping the noodles separate so everyone can add their own (thanks reviewers!), I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for a wonderful -- and easy! -- meal.

This is amazing! I think it does taste like Olive Garden's... Turned out perfectly simmering in the crock pot while I ran some errands. Thanks for a keeper!
