  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped green cabbage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add cannellini beans, ditalini pasta, zucchini, cabbage, oregano, and basil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, kale, or green beans.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • The pasta will absorb more liquid as the soup sits, so you may need to add a splash of broth when reheating.
