Pasta Fagioli Soup (Print Version)

01 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (use if you like a kick).

05 - 15 oz of tomato sauce.
06 - 4 cups veggie broth.

15 - 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans (drain them first).

# Instructions:

01 - Pour in your oil and warm it on medium heat. Toss in garlic, carrots, and onion, letting them soften for about 5 minutes.
02 - Mix the beans, spices, water, broth, and sauce into the pot. Stir it up and wait for it to bubble.

02 - Throw in a parmesan rind if you want to boost the taste.
03 - Want this done faster? Chop the veggies with a food processor.
