A hearty and comforting vegetable soup from the Ticino region, brimming with fresh vegetables, beans, and small pasta. Perfect for a warming meal.

Steps

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans, then add them to the soup along with the small pasta. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese (not included in ingredients or nutritional values).
