Alright, let’s get into what you need to whip up this hearty soup that’s sure to fill you up and warm your heart.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow)
- 2 cups fresh spinach or kale (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, stir in the cannellini beans, broth, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once it’s boiling, add the pasta of your choice and reduce to a simmer. Cook according to the pasta’s package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
- If you’re adding greens like spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost, throw them in just a couple of minutes before serving to let them wilt down.
- Once everything is cooked to perfection, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for that extra kick of flavor.
