Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, cook and stir the oil, carrots, celery, and onion over medium-high heat until the onion has softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, and beans. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until carrots are tender.
- Add the pasta, stir, and cover. Let the soup simmer covered for 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Stir in spinach and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with Parmesan cheese for serving.
Notes
- Planned Leftovers: If you’re planning for leftovers, cook the pasta separately and add it to each bowl individually. If pasta is stored in the soup, it will absorb the broth and get mushy.
- You can mix and match your veggies as you wish. Keep it meatless or add in your own favorite protein like cooked Italian sausage.
- Italian sausage
- This is a good soup for using up leftover veggies or, if time is short, use mixed frozen vegetables.
- Rinse canned beans in cold water to rinse off any preservatives and extra sodium.
