This has been a favorite soup of mine for several years now. I first had it when a friend of ours served it for dinner. I couldn’t leave without the recipe and I’ve been making it ever since.
It’s easy to make.
Chop all of the veggies (amounts in recipe below) and lightly cook them them in a large soup pot with a little bit of olive oil.
Add broth, beans, tomatoes, and bay leaf and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Add pasta and simmer for another 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
I usually serve it with these yummy cornbread muffins.

How much and pasta? Elbows?
Oh my, I left out the pasta from the recipe! That’s embarrassing! And even more embarrassing that I don’t know how much I use. I just eyeball it. But I would say about 2 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni.
Sorry about that!
