Pasta Fagoli Soup (Olive Garden)

This soup is delicious and I think it taste like the real deal. I think this version is a little spicier than the Olive Garden version but I like it. If you don't you can always cut back on the Tabasco. Very easy and yummy.

1lb of ground beef (browned and drained)
1/2 large red onion, chopped
1 cup carrots (I like the matchstix ones you find at the store)
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cans diced tomatoes w/ juice (14.5 ounces)
1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
4 cups beef broth
1 jar (26 ounces) pasta sauce (Ragu or Prego)
2 tsp Oregano
1 Tbl Tabasco
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup dry pasta (add at end of cooking time)

This makes a lot! Brown and drain the hamburger, put all ingredients (except pasta) in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. About 30 minutes before serving time add the pasta. Serve with parmesan cheese.
