Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup ditalini pasta
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
