All you need is:
Vegetable Broth
Ditalini Pasta
1 can of red kidney beans
1 can of chickpeas
1 can of black beans
1 can of white kidney beans
The first step is to open and empty out the cans of beans. You should rinse them under water and get all the juices off that they were sitting in. This just makes them all nice and clean and ready to eat. I was munching on some chickpeas while I was cooking.
While sorting out the beans you will cook your ditalini pasta for about 10 minutes in boiling water. You can add some salt to the water. But I usually don't do that but a lot of people like to when cooking pasta.
While the pasta was cooking I put a little but of garlic salt on the beans. This step is optional but I wanted the garlic to kind of get into the beans and give them a little more flavor. I also just really love garlic and I will put it on any savory dish.
Next is your seasonings for your soup. I used Oregano, Garlic Salt (Duh), and with taste add some normal salt if needed. I made this soup for me and my mom and she hates black pepper so I added it just in my bowl. But I recommend putting it into your soup while its cooking. Then you'll drain your pasta for your soup.
The next step is to add all your ingredients into a bowl. Depending on how big your pot is you can add or save as much as you want. I ended up having a lot of beans and some pasta left over. This soup should be a little hearty so load it up with beans and pasta (but mostly beans for the health factor). Put all your spices and seasoning in and then cook it on a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until hot.
The last step is to serve it up and enjoy. This soup is really yummy and super easy to make. The beans give you protein and the vegetable broth is a nice flavor. This dish is good for cold nights, sick days, or even if you have left over pasta and/or beans. You can really alter it to your liking. Add more beans or a different pasta. This is just how I like to make mine. I hope you try this recipe out and enjoy it as much as I do!
