Italian Bean Soup With Pasta image

This hearty soup is made in the style of the Italian "pasta e fagioli"-a lusty main dish with beans, ham, sausage, veggetables, and pasta. For an Italian finishing touch, grind white pepper to taste and stir a spoonful of olive oil into each bowlful. Serve with cheese, if you wish. I found this on My Great recipes cards. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for a request.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup great northern beans or 1 small white beans, rinsed and drained
6 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove (minced or pressed)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
1 lb smoked ham hock (about)
1 lb tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup small shell pasta
salt
grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Place beans in a bowl; add 2 cups of the water, let stand overnight (or, bring to boiling in a medium saucepan, boil briskly 2 minutes., remove from heat, let stand, covered, 1 hour).
  • In a 5-6-quart kettle heat oil. Cook carrot, celery, and onion until onion is soft. Mix in garlic, parsley, and pepperoni. Add ham hock, tomatoes, (coarsely chopped, with liquid), basil, bay leaf, beans and liquid and remaining cups water.
  • Bring to boiling. Cover, reduce heat. Simmer until beans are tender and ham separates from bone, about 2 hours. Remove ham hock; discard bones, fat, skin and bay leaf. Return ham in chunks. Skim, discard fat.
  • Remove 1 cup of the beans. Press through food mill (or puree in blender with a little soup liquid). To soup add pasta shells. Bring to boiling. Cook, uncovered, stirring, until pasta is tender, 12-15 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The soup was inedible.

I would not recommend this recipe. The soup was watery and the beans were undercooked.

This soup was a lot of work for not much payoff. The flavors were just okay.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too salty. I would use less salt next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This soup is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love that I can use dried beans, which are much more economical than canned beans.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

This Italian bean soup with pasta was a hit with my family! The soup was flavorful and hearty, and the pasta added a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.
