Method
Step 1
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add garlic, celery, carrot, and butternut squash. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more.
Step 2
Add broth and sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Add the beans, kale, and uncooked pasta. Simmer 4 minutes; remove from heat.
Step 3
Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes or until pasta is "al dente". Spoon soup into bowls. Top with cheese and parsley before serving.
Ditalini Pasta
The name Ditalini means "little thimbles" for its resemblance to the small sewing object. Ditalini's tiny, tubular pasta shape is a perfect complement to any pasta soup recipe.
