Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, over medium heat, add your ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot, stirring well. Sauté for about 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes and pour in chicken broth, followed by cannellini beans. Incorporate Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Once boiling, add ditalini pasta and stir. Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, until pasta is tender.
  5. After cooking, taste the soup and adjust seasoning as necessary. For a thicker consistency, add more beans or simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm, possibly alongside bread or salad.
