Pasta e Fagioli with Pancetta (Video)

One of our favorite soups is Pasta e Fagioli.  While I enjoy the Olive Garden version, this is my version I came up with after having the most delectable bowl of soup at a local restaurant.  I could not find any recipe that was comparable.

I kept searching, to no avail, and I decided to come up with my own.  The difference that I wanted was a thicker and creamier texture, and also a bit of smokiness.  Hence, the pancetta!  I hope you’ll give this recipe a try, and let me know what you think.

Of course, for this much soup, I used our 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot, here’s some info about it below:

Chicken Gnocchi Soup – Creme De La Crumb (Video)

**This is an updated post from a while back.  Since it is definitely soup season where I live, I thought I would share again, with a newer video. **

So, I’ve heard a lot about how wonderfully delicious Olive Garden’s Chicken Gnocchi Soup tastes.  I personally had never had chicken gnocchi soup and tell I made it the other day using this wonderful recipe from Tiffany over at https://www.lecremedelacrumb.com/. You can learn more about Tiffany here.

I checked out her blog briefly, and will definitely be heading back there to try out a few more recipes. This one is definitely a keeper, it has everything I love in it: chicken, gnocchi, cream and spinach.  I changed the recipe only slightly, and that I shredded my chicken instead of cooking it and dicing it. I’m sure that way is absolutely fine, but I was lazy and making shredded chicken is so easy in our Multi Cooker!

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more under-cooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Product Details

  • 6-qt. (5.6-L) capacity; 13″ x 15″ x 13″ (33 cm x 38 cm x 33 cm)
  • Includes a stainless-steel inner pot, wire rack, and silicone seal which are all dishwasher-safe, and a cooking guide with recipes and cooking charts.
