So, is pasta fagioli a pasta dish or soup?

Foodie friends! I've been puzzling over this: Is pasta fagioli considered a pasta dish, or is it actually a soup? I've encountered it in various forms and just can't pin it down. What's the consensus here? Would love to hear what you all think. Thank you guys!

Ah, pasta fagioli! That's a tricky one. For me, it's like a fusion of pasta and soup, which is pretty amazing! It has that kind of stomach-warming pasta texture, yet is also saturated with the broth. Therefore, I guess, it's the two sides, if you see it differently.

Hey there! Great question! Personally, I'd say pasta fagioli falls more into the soup category. Sure, it's got pasta in it, but the broth and beans really give it that soup vibe, you know? Plus, it's usually served in a bowl, not on a plate like a traditional pasta dish. But hey, I've seen different interpretations, so it might vary depending on who you ask! Either way, it's delicious!

I think pasta fagioli is technically a soup, though it's hearty enough with pasta and beans to be almost like a meal in itself. It's one of those deliciously versatile dishes!
