This recipe is adapted from a soup recipe that I found on the back of a Kroger's box of ditalini pasta! 👏😊 This is like a ham & bean soup meets vegetable noodle soup.🤷🏻‍♀️ Or a distant cousin of "pasta e fagioli" (pasta with beans) or "pasta e ceci" (pasta with chickpeas.) 😎👌 I loosely followed the box recipe, though I adjusted some measurements & substituted, as well as, added some ingredients. This soup turned out beautifully and was delicious! 👍👍 #ditalinirecipe #souprecipes #chickpearecipe #noodlesoup #veggienoodlesoup #pastaefagioli #pastaececi #hamandbean #veggienoodlesoup #homemadesoup
