Directions

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked.

Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, V-8 juice, white vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and thyme. Stir to combine.
5
Add the undrained kidney beans and Great Northern beans to the pot.
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Add the ditali pasta to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the pasta to finish absorbing the liquid. Serve hot.
