Instructions
- If using dried beans, soak them overnight in cold water with a dash of baking soda. Cook for at least two hours before using them for the soup. If using canned beans, wash them thoroughly under running water.
- Finely chop the carrot, celery, and onion.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add the chopped vegetables (soffritto) and cook over medium-low heat until wilted.
- Once the soffritto is well cooked, add the beans, tomato puree, and broth. Allow the mixture to simmer for around 20 minutes over medium heat.
- Optionally, blend with an immersion blender to make a creamier soup. Add salt and black pepper if needed.
- Add the pasta to the soup and follow the cooking times mentioned on the pasta package to ensure the pasta is perfectly cooked. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent the pasta from sticking.
- If it is too dry, add more broth to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve piping hot with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top.
