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.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans for a richer flavor. If you're short on time, you can use canned beans, but dried beans will give your soup a deeper, more complex flavor.
  • Soak your beans overnight before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add the pasta to the soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking. This will prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Pasta bean soup is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover pasta and beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
