I have to share this recipe. Because I love to cook and this recipe rocks! It couldn't be easier, unless it came in a can. But this is SO much better than canned soup. It's made from stuff that most people have if you do a fair amount of cooking at home. I only had to buy the cannellini beans. It makes a great sandwich dippin' 'sauce' too.
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup pastina pasta (or any small pasta)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the jar of marinara sauce, chicken broth, cannellini beans, red pepper flakes, pasta, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.Labels: food, recipes |
