Working in a restaurant many years ago, I remember loving the Pasta Fagioli, I was not a bean fan at the time, but that soup was really good. One day I saw the soup being made and to my surprise the chef poured in a few large cans of pork and beans, and then I knew why the soup tasted oddly familiar, but better. So I decided to give this soup a shot. I combated the sweetness of pork and beans with garlic, onion and a little salt and pepper, and the result was a great soup that everyone enjoyed. Beans are a great source of protein, fiber and iron, and the tomato of course provides lycopenes which provide the body with very important anti oxidents. Canned tomatoes also provide tons of vitamins- C,A,K, potassium, B6, and fiber.
