Pasta Fagioli Homemade Soup Mix

~Thanks to Robyn for this guest post today!

A traditional Italian favorite, this meatless soup is a great idea for gift giving or to stock your own pantry with. Inexpensive and filling, it would also make a great donation for shut ins or food pantries. A quart mason jar is the perfect container for your soup, whether you are keeping or gifting. Pop one in your mailbox with a homemade tag for your hardworking mail carrier, deliver one to your neighbor, or place a jar, a wooden spoon, and a pretty dishtowel in a nice pot for a college student, or a newlywed housewarming gift.

Pasta Fagioli Homemade Soup Mix

What You Need:

  • 1 cup small pasta shells
  • ¾ cup pinto beans
  • ¾ cup kidney beans
  • ¾ great northern or navy beans (white)
  • ¼ cup parsley flakes
  • 1/3 cup dried diced onion
  • 1 tsp. basil
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. rosemary
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • quart sized jar
  • 2 zip top sandwich bags

Additional Ingredients:
1-28 oz. can diced tomatoes
3 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped

Place pasta in one of the bags, press out air and seal. Set aside.

Place parsley flakes, diced onion, oregano, basil, rosemary , garlic powder, pepper flakes, and black pepper in the second bag, press flat and seal, set aside.

Layer beans in the quart jar, gently tapping between each layer to pack down.

Place seasoning packet in jar next, arranging so spices show in the front of jar, especially if you are gifting the soup mix.

Next, place the baggie containing your noodles in the jar, arranging it nicely to show off the noodles as well.
Seal the jar and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3-4 months.

To prepare soup:
Remove pasta and seasoning packet from jar.

Remove and rinse beans.

Place beans in a large pot and add 6- 8 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Allow beans to boil for 5 minutes, remove from heat, and cover. Let beans stand for 2 hours. Drain water.

Return pan of beans to stove. Add 8 fresh cups of water and contents of seasoning packet.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Stir and cover. Cook for one hour or until beans are tender.

Stir in can of tomatoes, carrots, and celery. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Add pasta and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

    To bland husband and I did not care for it, we usually like anything with beans.

    This sounds delicious. Might I suggest adding 2 tbsp of chicken buillon granules or substituting a couple of cans of chicken broth for 4 cups of water if you find the soup bland?

      I haven’t tried this yet so I was wondering if you made it with and without the chicken broth that you suggested. I just want it to be good the first time because I’m not much on experimenting. Thank you

      The receiver adds them fresh when they make the soup.

    Made 12 cost about $6 each. I found 12 qt jars at Family Dollar stores for $9. Great price, cute gift. Making the recipe this weekend, adding bay leaf, ground beef and crushed tomatoes instead of diced. Giving them as gifts in memory of my mom. She was from Naples, Italy.
