Directions
Creating this Ultimate Pasta and Beans Soup is both straightforward and satisfying. Follow these detailed steps to ensure tremendous flavor in every bowl:
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the fragrant aroma to envelop your kitchen.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, rinsed cannellini beans, chicken or vegetable broth, oregano, basil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, letting the flavors mingle intensely.
-
Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, stir in the small pasta of your choice. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Taste and Serve: Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot, topped with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if you wish. Enjoy the tremendous comfort this soup offers!
