How to Make Tuna Minestrone
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 stalks of chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor) and add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of small pasta (ditalini, elbow macaroni, or other small pasta shape) and continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through.
- Stir in 2 (5 ounce) cans of tuna, drained, and 1 (15 ounce) can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
