Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dried white bean, rinsed and picked over (such as Great Northern or cannellini)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups finely diced yellow onions
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced fennel or 1/2 cup diced celery
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
8 cups chicken stock
8 ounces bow tie pasta
1/2 cup fine diced sun-dried tomato (use the dry ones and reconstitute them in some hot water for 10 minutes before chopping)
1/4 cup finely diced fresh parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight in enough water to cover by 3 inches.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy soup pot over medium heat.
  • Add onions, carrots, fennel, garlic, pepper flakes and bay leaves.
  • Cover and cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Add beans and 7 cups stock.
  • Increase heat and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour, 15 minutes.
  • (Can be made one day ahead and cover and refrigerate at this point).
  • Bring to a simmer before continuing.
  • Add pasta and tomatoes to soup.
  • Cover partially and simmer until beans and pasta are very tender, adding up to 1 cup stock if too thick, about 15 minutes.
  • Add parsley.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings with salt.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Ladle soup into bowls.
  • Serve, passing cheese seperately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili pepper flakes, and it was much better.
