Equipment

  • 1 6-quart crockpot
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ditalini pasta or small pasta of choice
  • 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In the crockpot, combine the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Stir to mix the vegetables evenly.
  • Add the drained beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the crockpot. Stir until well combined.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 6 hours or high for 3 hours until the vegetables are tender.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, add the ditalini pasta to the soup. Stir well, cover, and let it cook until the pasta is al dente.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for added nutrition.
  • For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth; for a meaty version, try adding diced pancetta or sausage at the beginning.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and may thicken; add a little water or broth when reheating.
