Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 2 teaspoons All Purpose Seasoning (divided)
  • 1 Large Onion, diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 Carrots, diced
  • 3 stalks Celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
  • 15 ounces Cannellini Beans
  • 15 ounces Kidney Beans
  • 14.5 ounces Diced Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt and Pepper
  • 1 pound Ditalini Pasta (cooked)

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven, season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning. Brown it over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pot and drain excess fat, leaving about one tablespoon in the pot.
  2. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Season with remaining all-purpose seasoning. Cook for about 5-8 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and bay leaf. Cook for another minute to release their flavors.
  4. Return browned ground beef to the pot. Add diced tomatoes along with their liquid, both types of beans, and chicken broth.
  5. Cover the pot and let everything simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste your soup before serving. If needed, add additional salt and pepper according to your preference.
  7. In individual serving bowls, add one cup of cooked ditalini pasta and ladle hot soup over it. For an added touch of flavor, top each bowl with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
