Tuscan Bean and Pasta Soup #417  -  $9.95
(Pasta Fazool)

Pasta Fazool (American Restaurant Style)

1 package Tuscan Bean and Pasta Soup
1 lb. ground beef, cooked (or Italian Sausage, crumbled and cooked)
2 cups hot water
4 cups chicken broth
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

Follow directions on package using these ingredients.  The change in tomatoes and water will make a tomato-based broth for the soup - very similar in flavor and appearance to the soup served in some of the popular Italian chain restaurants.
