Olive Garden Pasta e Fagoli Soup {Copycat}

What you need:

    • 2 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
    • 4 stalks celery, chopped
    • 2 cans diced tomatoes
    • 1 can red kidney beans
    • 1 can white kidney beans (I used navy beans)
    • 3 cans beef stock/broth
    • 3 tsp. oregano
    • 2 tsp. pepper
    • 5 tsp. dried parsley
    • 1 tsp. hot sauce
    • 1 jar spaghetti sauce
    • 8 oz. cheese tortellini

Directions:

    1. Add all ingredients except tortellini into a crockpot --or-- large pot.
    2. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, high for 4 to 5 hours, or in a large pot for 1 to 2 hours.
    3. Add tortellini in the last 30 minutes or so of cooking. Just to heat it up because you don't want it soggy.
