spicy tomato soup...make it because it's good

seriously, it is.

I happened to be browsing one of my favorite food blogs, Iowa Girl Eats, and she shared a soup recipe from Giada as one of her friday favorites. It sounded easy and delicious enough, so it was instantly bookmarked and then promptly made.

The recipe (courtesy of Giada DeLaurentiis):

Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce (recommended: San Marzano brand)
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup pastina pasta (or any small pasta)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the jar of marinara sauce, chicken broth, cannellini beans, red pepper flakes, pasta, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.

my prepared soup (used seashell-like noodles because we were out of ditalini) + grilled cheese = so delicious


I could eat this almost every day.
