PASTA E FAGIOLI

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced (1 cup)
1 large carrot, julienned (1 cup)
3 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans (with liquid)
1 15-ounce can great northern beans (with liquid)
1 15-ounce can V-8 juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 pound (1pkg) ditali pasta

1) Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Drain most of the fat.
2) Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and saute for about 10 minutes.
3) Add remaining ingredients, except pasta and simmer for 1 hour
4) About 50 minutes into simmering, cook pasta for about 10 minutes or just until pasta is al dente, or slightly tough. Drain.
5) Add the pasta to the large pot of soup. Simmer for 10 minutes more and serve.

It makes a big pot of soup. I would say it would feed 8 to 10 adults.

TURKEY SOUP

Place leftover bones in big stock pot. Cover with water. Add one onion cut into chunks, salt pepper, garlic salt and whatever other spices you like (I usually add basil and marjoram). Boil til meat falls off bones, about 1 hour, give or take. Let cool enough to remove bones from broth. (Can pour it through a strainer.) Add chicken bouillion (cubes or paste) to taste, cut up leftover turkey meat, leftover stuffing, leftover gravy, and carrots. Cook til carrots are tender, then add noodles. Cook til noodles are tender.
