If you love the Pasta Fagoli Soup at Olive Garden restaurants you are going to LOVE this copycat version that you can make in your slow cooker! This recipe for Crock-Pot Pasta Fagoli Soup is warm and hearty full of flavorful vegetables, beans, ground beef and pasta all swimming in a delicious Italian broth!

Crock-Pot Pasta Fagoli Soup (Olive Garden Copycat Recipe)

Slow Cooker Pasta Fagoli Soup

Living in a small town in Wyoming means that everything is pretty far away. It is about a 2 to 3 hour drive to get to the “big city” where we can go to a mall, shop at our favorite stores or eat at some of the more popular restaurants.

We try to plan a couple of trips to either Rapid City South Dakota or Casper Wyoming several times a year. But because the winter weather is pretty harsh up here in Wyoming I really try not to do a whole lot of long distance travel in the winter.

But when we do go to the “Big City” we really make the most of those trips. We usually plan an overnight or weekend trip so that we can shop, eat and visit local attractions with the kids. We get a hotel room, preferably one with an indoor pool or water slide.

While we are there we always hit the mall and department stores (Kohl’s is my favorite), Target (oh how I wish we had a Target…I could seriously do some damage if we had a Target closer…OK maybe that is a good thing), the craft store (Hobby Lobby or Michael’s), Sam’s Club for stocking up on essentials like baking supplies, meat, and snacks in bulk and then we eat out….

While I love to check out Yelp and see what the favorite eating spots of the local folks are and explore new and different restaurants and cuisines my husband is kind of a non-adventurous sort…either that or his mind just gets set on revisiting his favorite foods. Olive Garden is one of his favorites.

I have to admit, I like it too. The kids are always sure to find something on the menu that they will like and eat, their salad is of course amazing and who can pass up UNLIMITED bread sticks?

Whenever I go I always order salad, bread-sticks and soup and their Pasta Fagoli soup is one of my favorites.

Because weather that is good for traveling feels like pretty far off and I got a hankering for a bowl of that warm and satisfying Olive Garden soup I decided I would give my hand at making it at home on a cold winter day. And of course I had to make it in my Crock-Pot…because…well, I am a Crock-Pot Lady!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I did. I served this soup with some other copycat recipes I found on Pinterest from other great food bloggers.

  • Copycat Olive Garden Bread-sticks
  • Copycat Olive Garden Salad

Both of those recipes came out pretty darn close to what you would get at the restaurant. Give them a try…I highly recommend them!

I love when I utilize my slow cooker for cooking the main dish because that can really free up my time to make something like homemade bread-sticks and whip up a from-scratch salad dressing.

Enjoy!

      Was wondering the same. Is cabbage supposed to go in with all other ingredients?

        Yes the cabbage goes in with all the other ingredients.

    I make this (after a trip to Olive Garden) using sausage and a dash of red pepper flakes. I haven’t used the crock pot for mine, however! Love that! I also like adding the pasta at the end as I am on a low carb diet! I may throw the beans in with the drained pasta so I can add it to the bowls of the rest of the family!

      I almost made this soup with Italian sausage Terri…so tempted. I think the next time I make it I am going to go for it. Sausage always adds a nice flavor profile. My son (who is a chef in training) said next time we should add a little fennel to the soup too…yum!

    Can it be made without the cabbage? Wondering if the liquids would need to be adjusted?

      Hi Renee, while this recipe has not been tested by omitting the cabbage it should be okay. I don’t think you would need to adjust the liquid in the recipe.
