Very quick and easy; eliminates any need to buy the canned variety. I usually make it without any pasta, but in this case I had a mini-box of kamut ditalini, so I used that.
Minestrone Soup
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth (I used 1 Rapunzel cube dissolved in 4 cups water)
- 1 can low-sodium diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 can cannellini beans,WITH liquid
- 1 can red kidney beans, drained
- 1/2 lb fresh green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- pepper
- salt (optional depending on broth used)
In a medium pot, heat 2 Tbsp of water. Add onions and garlic and saute about 5 minutes, stirring often – add a bit of water if it all evaporates early. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
