Sunday Italian Vegetable Soup

First and foremost, this soup is a testament to the Italian philosophy of using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Each vegetable brings its unique character to the mix, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and textures that will leave you satisfied and invigorated. The combination of hearty beans, zucchini, and succulent tomatoes makes for a delicious meal and provides a healthy dose of essential vitamins and nutrients.

But let’s remember the addition of just the right amount of pasta. One of the most notable virtues of Italian rotini is its unique shape, which allows it to hold onto sauces and ingredients like no other pasta. This corkscrew-like design ensures that every bite has a perfect balance of flavors, making it an ideal choice for both light and hearty dishes.

The tender morsels of pasta soak up the rich flavors of the broth, providing a satisfying and comforting experience that is perfect for a cozy Sunday evening.

If you want to kick this soup up a notch, add a chunk of leftover Parmesan rind while simmering. It adds a wonderous amount of umami that ties everything together.
