What You'll Need

1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounce) diced tomatoes
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cans (15-ounce) cannellini beans, not drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 pound ditalini pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

What to Do

In a large sauce pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add the garlic and saute until golden. Add the tomatoes, broth, oregano, pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cannellini and parsley and continue cooking for 10 minutes more, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized pot of boiling salted water, cook the ditalini until just barely tender; drain and add to the cannellini minture.
Add the Parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly, and serve.

Notes

Fagioli is the Italian word for "beans," that are used in this recipe. For a bit more flare, in place of Parmesan, shred some Asiago cheese over the soup. You'll enjoy its rich, nutty flavor.

Love this soup. I used 2 roma tomatoes cut up and a small can of Rotel tomato sauce ( did not have canned diced). I also used cheddar instead of Parmesan. Just used a handful of pasta. I will be making this soup very often.

Only had one can of white beans, so I used chic peas for my second can. I also used elbows,because my local store does not carry ditalini. I used fresh grated Parmesan. Came out delicious. There are only two of us, so I am going to freeze half of it, adding a little broth when I thaw it out. I will definitely make this again.

This is one of the BEST tastin soups ever! I substituted great northern beans because I don't like such a large bite of bean. Also, add pasta slowly, next time I will add less because the broth is sooo good!

Love this recipe! I don't see where it said to cook it for 6 hours though. It only takes a few minutes to make. I also added some Italian sausage to flavor the soup. My Italian husband thought it was wonderful. Next time I'll double the recipe. Thanks to the Mr. Food team.

Made this last nite & it was good. I did not add two cans of beans, I thought that was a bit much but I did double the chicken broth. Adding diced tomates with italian seasons makes it flavorful & no need to add extra italian seasonings. -
