This Pasta Fagioli recipe is delicious and one of my very favorite recipes given to me by my very good friend/sister Vicky Raphael. We worked together at Fort Vancouver Regional Library for years.She has since moved on and now works for Pierce County Library. I miss her and when I want to reflect on some of the fond memories of her and the laughter we have shared I will mix up this soup and "scoop up a bowl full and eat!" You don't have to be "Born" into a family to be considered a sister...

*Great served with garlic bread. Fresh, grated parmesan cheese is an excellent topping to be sprinkled on the soup before serving.
