PASTA AND BEAN SOUP



Pasta and Bean Soup image

The chef Tom Valenti channels his late grandmother in his cooking, utilizing her ''stove top approach to life'' by braising and stewing and slow cooking the kinds of food that snowstorms were made for. Her pasta and bean soup, a treat for carb-lovers with its addition of mashed potatoes to thicken the broth, was one of many old-country comfort foods that she fed Mr. Valenti during his childhood.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups canned vegetable broth
1 cup dry vermouth
1 large white onion, chopped
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 14 1/2-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
8 ounces penne or other tubular pasta
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 large yellow crookneck squash, diced
1 15-ounce can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained
4 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring broth and vermouth to boil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, fennel and garlic. Cover and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, pasta, zucchini and squash; cook until pasta is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add beans and green onions. Cook until pasta and vegetables are tender and soup is thick, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans. Dried beans are more flavorful than canned beans, but they take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use canned beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the soup.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary are all good choices for pasta bean soup. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Cook the pasta separately from the soup. This will prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Pasta bean soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover pasta and beans. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
