  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup small pasta (such as ditalini, elbow, or shells)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups spinach or kale (optional)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
