Nigella's Minestrone in Minutes Ingredients:
1 14-oz can mixed beans (sometimes sold as mixed bean salad) or other canned beans 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 cup tomato-based pasta sauce of your choice 4 oz ditalini or other soup pasta Instructions:
Drain the beans and put them into a saucepan with the hot stock and pasta sauce. Bring the pan to a boil and then add the ditalini, cooking according to package instructions. Once pasta is tender, switch off the heat, remove the pan to a cool surface, and let stand for 5- 10 minutes if you can bear to wait.The pasta swells in the soup, and everything just gets better.(Basically, once you've rounded everyone up and set the table, the soup is plump and delicious.)
