Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini, elbow, or shells)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add Garlic and Spices: Add the minced garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add Tomatoes and Beans: Stir in the diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, kidney beans, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cook the Pasta: Add the pasta to the soup. Continue simmering for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and fully cooked.
  • Add Greens: If using spinach or kale, stir it in at the last minute and cook until wilted.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap out the beans for other varieties like garbanzo or black beans, depending on your preference.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors develop even more after sitting overnight.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half before serving.
