Pasta e Fagioli Soup

Recipe by Fabio Viviani
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, diced
2 celery stalks with leaves, diced
1 fennel bulb
3 bay leaves, dried
6 sprigs thyme
¾ lb. Borlotti beans
pinch sea salt
4 garlic cloves - grated
2-3 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
28 oz. can diced tomatoes
pinch sea salt
pinch fresh ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
2 cups small shaped pasta
20 fresh basil leaves

Method:
• Heat a large cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add extra virgin olive oil.
• Add carrots, onions, and celery and stir.
• Meanwhile, dice fennel. Add to pot and stir.
• Strip the thyme sprigs over the pot and discard sticks. Add bay leaf.
• Sauté about ten minutes, or until the vegetables caramelize and start to soften.
• Add Borlotti beans and grated garlic; stir.
• Add stock, canned tomatoes, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Stir, cover, and boil for one hour, or until beans are soft.
• Add pasta and cook for five minutes. If you don't plan on serving the soup all at once, cook the pasta separately, and add to each bowl as you serve it. Otherwise, the pasta will soak up too much broth when stored.
• Chop basil and add to pot. Stir thoroughly, and remove from heat.
• Remove bay leaves and serve immediately.
MANGIA!

Zana’s Note:
I like to use about 8 cored and diced black tomatoes instead of the canned tomatoes for this recipe.

From: The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook - Phase 1
Zucchini is a delicious vegetable that works well with many different flavors and cuisines. This recipe showcases its versatility.

Zucchini takes on Indian flavors exceptionally well, and there is almost no better example than this fantastic curried soup. Garam masala is an Indian spice blend that's widely available at specialty food stores, but if you don't have it, the soup is still great.

Prep time: 10 min
Start to finish: 20 min
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 1/4 cup

INGREDIENTS
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garam masala (optional)
3 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt

DIRECTIONS
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add zucchini, ginger, curry powder, and garam masala, if using.
• Cook 3 more minutes.

• Add broth and bring to a simmer.
• Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Puree soup in a blender or food processor until smooth, or use a hand blender.
• Whisk in yogurt just before serving.

Servings: 4

Serving Size: 1 1/4 cup
