Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 cups vegetable broth
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup small pasta shells, such as ditalini
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Vegan parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.

Add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, beans, and pasta to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the pasta is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir in the parsley and season the soup with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve the soup with vegan parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
