Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 15 ounces can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • cups ditalini pasta, uncooked
  • 2 cups chopped spinach, packed
  • 1 parmesan rind

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven or soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots and celery. Sauté until soft and onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute until garlic is fragrant.
  • Stir in the kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, rosemary, bay leaf, parsley, salt, black pepper, vegetable broth, water and parmesan rind. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
  • Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Stir often so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Then remove from heat.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and serve with grated parmesan cheese.
