Ingredients
- 12 oz noodles (of your choice)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 bay leaf
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
-
Cook Noodles: Begin by cooking the noodles according to package directions. Once done, drain and set aside.
-
Saute Vegetables: While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute the chopped onion until pale golden, approximately 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped celery. Continue sauteing until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 more minutes.
-
Add Tomatoes and Broth: Introduce the chopped tomatoes and their reserved juice to the saucepan. Pour in both the chicken broth and beef broth, along with the water. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the soup to simmer, partially covered, for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Incorporate Beans and Noodles: Stir in the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, followed by the cooked noodles. Let the soup simmer for an additional few minutes until everything is heated through.
-
Final Touches: Before serving, remember to remove the bay leaf. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on each serving of soup, or stir it into the saucepan for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy the warmth and goodness of this Vegetable Noodle Soup, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners or anytime you crave a comforting bowl of homemade goodness! 🍲✨
