Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 carrots (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 24 ounce jar marinara sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 15 ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup uncooked small pasta (I used mini wagon wheels, but something like elbow macaroni would also work well)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (to taste (optional))

Instruction

  • Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic and sauté until soft (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the jar of marinara sauce, chicken broth, beans, uncooked pasta, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.
