Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans (or similar white beans).
  4. Add enough water or vegetable broth to cover the ingredients by about an inch, roughly 4-6 cups.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the ditalini pasta in a separate pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente.
  7. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water.
  8. Stir the cooked pasta into the bean and tomato mixture.
  9. If the soup is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Stir in fresh chopped parsley and basil just before serving.
  12. Ladle into bowls and serve hot, optionally topped with a drizzle of olive oil.
