Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 pound pasta small
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 celery finely chopped, stalks
  • 2 carrot finely chopped
  • 2 garlic minced, cloves
  • 1 bay leaf dried
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 diced tomatoes fire roasted, canned 28-ounce
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cannellini beans 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Kidney Beans canned 15-ounce, drained and rinsed
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup basil cut into ribbons, fresh leaves
  • crushed red pepper (optional)
  • Parmesan Cheese to serve, grated
  • Italian bread to serve

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta. In a large boiling pot of water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain well, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables. In a large Dutch oven or cast iron pot, heat a thin layer of olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, over medium-high. Sauté the onion, celery, and carrots on medium-high heat until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and dried oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Build the soup. Add the roasted diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cannellini beans, and kidney beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover the pot with a lid but leave a small opening. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Add the pasta. Add the pasta, stirring until it’s dispersed and warmed through. Remove the soup from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
  5. Serve. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and top with crushed red pepper (optional) and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty Italian bread.

Notes

  •  
  • to browse all-natural and organic spices and our extra virgin olive oils including
  • Private Reserve
  • Greek EVOO used in this recipe.
  • Sometimes, especially when serving a small number of people, I prefer to add the cooked pasta in the serving bowls, topping it with the soup. That way, I can save the leftovers, pasta and soup, separately. Otherwise, things can get too thick and mushy overnight.
  • I like my Pasta e Fagioli soup on the brothy side, but if you prefer a thicker base, simply take a portion of the soup (with the beans and veggies) and puree it in a blender or food processor then stir it back into the soup before adding the pasta.
