Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil good quality; plus more for serving
- 1-1/2 cups onion yellow, chopped
- 2 cups celery 1/2-inch diced
- 2 cups carrot 1/2-inch diced
- 2-1/2 cups butternut squash 1/2-inch diced, peeled
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tsp thyme dried leaves
- diced tomatoes with juice, 28-ounce can
- 6 cups vegetable broth plus more if needed
- 1 bay leaf dried
- 1/2 cup white wine good quality, dry
- 2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1-1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cups ditalini pasta cooked
- cannellini beans drained and rinsed, 15-ounce can
- 10 ounces spinach fresh baby leaves
- 2 Tbsp basil fresh, minced leaves
- Parmesan Cheese for serving, freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions, celery, squash, garlic, and thyme. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, approximately 9 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, and bay leaf to the pot. As soon as the liquid starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes. At 20 minutes, add the white wine, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
- While the soup is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package directions minus 1 minute so it is just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Add the pasta and cannellini beans and stir gently to combine. If the soup is too thick add a little more broth or just plain water. Adjust the salt and pepper seasoning if needed. Warm through, then add the spinach and basil.
- Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls. Top with grated parmesan and a drizzle of good olive oil. Serve right away with garlic bread for dunking.
