For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add a can of diced tomatoes and an extra can of cannellini beans. Feel free to add other vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, or kale. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat.

A comforting and hearty Italian-inspired soup featuring tender ditalini pasta, creamy cannellini beans, savory ground beef, and a medley of aromatic vegetables and herbs, all simmered in a rich tomato-vegetable broth. It's a hug in a bowl that gets even better with time.

Feb 22, 2025I doubled the recipe and froze half for later. It thawed beautifully and tasted just as good as the first time.

Jun 3, 2024I substituted kidney beans for the cannellini beans because that's what I had on hand, and it was still delicious!
