Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes (in juices)
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets 
  • 4 ounces alphabet pasta, or other small pasta shape
  • Fresh basil leaves, slivered

Directions

  1. Heat butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add tomatoes with their juices, broth, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree tomato mixture. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender by pouring small batches and blending slowly while holding down the blender lid. Return liquid to pot and stir well.
  4. Reheat soup over medium heat and add carrots, green beans, cauliflower florets and milk. Stir to combine. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally (do not boil).
  5. In a separate pot, cook pasta as instructed on package. It should yield around 2 cups cooked.
  6. To serve, ladle soup into bowls, add desired amount of pasta (approx. 1/2 cup per serving) and top with parmesan cheese and basil. Store leftover soup and pasta in separate containers and combine when you’re ready to reheat it.
