Instructions
- Chop up the mirepoix, which is carrots, celery, and onion. Saute the carrots and celery in olive oil first for about 5 minutes, and then add in the onions.
- Once it’s cook until translucent, add in chopped garlic.
- Once the garlic is fragrant, add in a can of whole peed tomatoes as well as dried oregano, basil, and sage.
- Cook for about 10 minutes and then add in vegetable broth, white beans, and a few bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil and then down to a simmer for anywhere between 30 minutes up to a couple of hours.
- Before serving, cook whatever pasta you have, although shells are fun because they catch the beans and some broth as well.
- Serve the pasta in the soup and enjoy!
