My Grandpa’s been craving this since my Grandma passed away. She used to make this for him. Other people have tried to make it for him to no avail. I decided to give it a shot using great northern beans and tomatoes without jalapeños &amp; it’s absolutely amazing! I’ll be making this for my Grandpa in February &amp; can’t wait for him to try it!

It does sound tummy warming and satisfying! Thanks so much for linking up at #AThemedLinkup 8 for Soup Recipes. Pinned.

Who doesn’t love comfort food?  Sounds delicious!   Thanks, for another tasty recipe????

This looks so hearty and filling. Perfect soup for dinner. A side salad and its a complete meal for me. My kids love soup any time of the year and they love pasta so this is definitely going to get made soon.

Simple soups are the best kind! So much flavour. My mom and my grandma have all their recipes in their head too, I had a laugh at that!

This soup sounds hearty and delicious. Homemade soup is the BEST. I love pasta in soup. The perfect comfort food. I would make a huge pot and eat this for days.

This is a delicious soup!  Its so filling and comforting! One of my favorites.

Love. Good balance of spices. I used a rotisserie chicken breast and carcass for broth. Excellent.

I feel like every time I visit your site, I start with the same expression: "I LOVE!" :)  Your recipes speak to my heart, Marisa. My grandmother used to make Pasta e Fagioli for me and it's one of my favorite dishes. I love that you've added chicken to it. Serious cravings happening over here right now!

I love a good hearty soup with beans and pasta, such a good belly-warming meal. I didn't even know diced tomatoes with jalapenos existed before this recipe, now I am hooked!

I love love love Pasta e Fagioli with Chicken and now that it's cooler out, I can't wait to have it all the time! There's just something so comforting about a nice cozy soup in the fall and the chicken is a much needed protein in my diet. I love that you're using tomatoes with jalapenos as it gives a great little kick to it.

I had to laugh a little at your comment about Italians telling people they're wrong.  I always get a bit of a kick out of that.  Put five Italians in a room and they'll all tell you how your recipe is wrong - even though none of them will agree about what's 'right.' I don't mean to sound critical though because I think it comes from a wonderful place.  Italians are so connected to and invested in their food, and that leads to some strong and vocal opinions!

I love your recipe, and I love a hearty comfort-food dish like this one.  I'm curious to know more about the three regional varieties too.  I'll have to do some research.  Cheers!

I love food traditions like this and think it's so important to carry them on.  My grandfather just passed and he loved to cook -- we'll be making his favorites in the coming months and remembering the good times.  This soup looks like a hearty meal for a cool fall night.

I love how much texture the pasta you used has!  I'm excited for soup season, and this one sounds so flavorful and warming. I've only visited Italy in the summer, but this makes me want to go in the fall and eat soup the whole time!
