Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Pancetta

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Cooking the Soup

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  2. 4

    Add Beans and Seasonings

    Once boiling, add the cannellini beans, bay leaves, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

    Cook the Pasta

    After the soup has simmered, add the ditalini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes.
