This copycat Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli soup features lean ground beef, ditalini pasta and lots of beans, just like the original. The addition of tomato sauce helps to thicken and flavor the broth. Like many soups, this will taste better the next day, but since it contains hearty ingredients like beans, you may need to loosen the soup with additional broth or water when you reheat it.

Serve this full-flavored soup as an appetizer or as a smooth vegetable stew over rice with a side of cooked greens. We’ve used full fat coconut milk, which makes for a decadent, silky soup.
