Pasta Fagioli Soup

By LETSEAT

Ingredients

• Garlic, 2 gloves
• leeks,
• onions,
• carrots,
• zucchini,
• white beans,
• swiss chard,
• crushed tomatoes,
• broth,
• pasta (I used Ditalini - small tubes)
• cheese rinds,
• rosemary and thyme

Preparation

Step 1

Start out with a big pan, drizzle the bottom with olive oil then saute the first 5 ingredients ( generous amounts of all, just 2 crushed garlic cloves though) then open up and pour in 2 cans of white beans and a 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes. Add your chard then fill your pot to the top with broth, homemade or boxed, and throw in 3 cheese rinds and the fresh chopped herbs.
I cook my pasta, and keep it separate, adding as much as I want into my serving bowl. I never add it to the big pot, I don't like when it blows up really big and gets mushy.
Let it simmer for a good hour or so until veggies are tender then add a generous handful of grated cheese and stir.
