Bean Soup with Pasta

A good homemade bean soup is thick, prepared with the addition of various root and tuber vegetables and enriched with a piece of prosciutto, bacon, or smoked ribs. If you dont like it that way, you can thin it out as desired, and you can also omit the addition of smoked or cured meat and use smoked paprika instead. For the finishing touch, add a bit of sour cream, and enjoy it with a slice or two of your favorite bread.

Steps

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, then finely chop them separately. Clean the vegetables, wash them, and cut them into small pieces.

  2. Pour oil into a pot and sauté the chopped onion in it. Add the chopped vegetables and meat, and fry everything together while stirring for 2 to 3 minutes. Then mix in the chopped garlic and tomato paste, and fry the ingredients for another minute.

  3. Add the beans and bay leaf to the pot, mix everything once more, then pour in water. Season with savory and marjoram, and wait for the liquid to boil. Then reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers gently, partially cover the pot, and cook the ingredients until the beans are completely softened.

  4. Once the beans are softened, remove the bay leaf and piece of meat from the pot. Mash or blend half of the vegetables and beans with an immersion blender to achieve the desired soup thickness, then season with salt and pepper to taste and return it to the stove. When the soup boils, add the pasta and cook it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. Serve the prepared soup in deep bowls or soup cups. If desired, enrich it with a spoonful of sour cream and serve with sliced bread.

Advice

If you use dried beans instead of fresh shelled ones, you need to soak them before use. The easiest way to do this is to sort them, rinse them under running water, place them in a bowl, and cover them with cold water so that the water level is at least four fingers above the beans.
