This hearty Vegetarian Bean Soup with Pasta is deliciously warm and filling – the perfect soup for the season!
All year, I look forward to the return of all the yummy, comfort foods of Fall! Soups are always on the menu. The more, the merrier. I usually make big batches and freeze the extra in individual serving sizes so I can pick and choose which I want each day. This Vegetarian Bean Soup with Pasta is an old favorite.
For this recipe I used only Harris Teeter brand products. Harris Teeter products are easily identified by the HT square logo and also include HT Organics and HT Traders. An added benefit of shopping Harris Teeter private-label brands is that a portion of your purchase will go to support the school of your choice through the Together in Education program!
Harris Teeter takes pride in ensuring that all their private-label brand items are of equal or better quality than leading brands. They even back this up with a money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with any Harris Teeter product, simply return it for a refund and a replacement item (restrictions apply).
It was a fun challenge, although I found it to be quite easy. Their products are low-priced but high-quality. I was able to find Harris Teeter brand products for every ingredient needed for this recipe.
This Vegetarian Bean Soup with Pasta serves 8 and the ingredients cost me a total of $20.00! For a family if 4, this means having leftovers for a second day with each days dinner only costing $10 total! I also had extra of quite a few of the ingredients for other recipes I had planned for the week.
Recipes like this vegetarian soup are especially great for big families, families on a budget, and for when you have guests over for dinner. It’s delicious and filling on it’s own, but if desired you can pair it with a salad and/or bread as well.

Notes
Tips and Techniques
- You can use vegetables scraps as well as any extra vegetables you have on hand to make vegetable stock so that nothing goes to waste.
- Be careful not to overcook the pasta, as it will continue to swell as it sits and could turn mushy if overcooked.
- Store leftovers in air-tight containers in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.

Noel Lizotte says
I love soup season! I don’t think there’s a soup out there I don’t like. Too bad my husband isn’t a huge fan of a lot of soup. This looks easy enough to pull together … and I like the idea of brands supporting schools. Yeah HT!
Lauren says
My fiance doesn’t eat much soup either. He says it’s not real food lol. I always make big batches anyway and freeze them in individual containers so I can have it for lunch or when I need a quick dinner 🙂

I do love the idea of adding beans to my pasta dish. Have never tried it but I bet it must taste divine. My kids love beans so this can be a great addition to our winter nights.

This reminds me of a dish my hubbies family makes, I just love the frugality of it and the depth of flavors! Nothing better than an inexpensive meal LOADED with flavor!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
I am literally drooling looking at your soup and I definitely need to make this for my family. My boys love soups with pasta and the beans a re a double bonus for the vegetarian family as I always look for ways to get more protein in.
