Many chefs have a version of a Fagioli soup. Here's my savory rendition with fresh herbs, white wine, homemade chicken stock, and topped off with fresh baked chili chive croutons. Plus, a wine taste test...It's Zin, versus a red blend and chardonnay. Visit my blog to see which one is perfect pairing for this soup! And to see how to make these crunchy homemade croutons! Forget the crackers :) http://www.tipsyculinaryqueen.com

How To Make chardonnay herb fagioli soup w/chili chive crouton

  • 1
    Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add herbs and pepper. Stir continuously to release oils. It only takes about 30 to 60 seconds. Be careful not to let them burn.
  • 2
    Toss in vegetables. Then salt. Once they are tender and translucent pour wine in. Allow to deglaze for 3 or 4 minutes.
  • 3
    Dump in stock and stir until it dissolves to a smooth consistency (if using canned just cook for 2 or 3 minutes.)
  • 4
    Stir in tomatoes and sauce. Then sprinkle with sugar. Simmer this on low for about 20 minutes.
  • 5
    Add pasta and cook approximately 10 minutes, until pasta is tender.
  • 6
    Add undrained beans and mix well. Heat through. Serve with fresh grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. You can also include fresh basil leaves for a garnish if you have any.
