  • 2 leeks white parts only. Rinsed thoroughly and thinly sliced
  • 4 large garlic cloves peeled and finely minced or chopped
  • 3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves finely minced
  • 3 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary finely minced

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart stock pot using medium flame.
  • Saute shallots and leeks for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Add garlic, rosemary, oregano, thyme and ground cumin, Mix and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add in carrots, bell peppers and tomatoes. Season with a pinch of salt. Mix and cook two minutes.
  • Add in black eye peas and cannellini beans. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix to combine with veggies.
  • Pour in the stock. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer 25 to 30 minutes until vegetables are al dente.
  • Add in ditalini pasta. Stir. Cover pot and simmer 8 minutes.
    Note: My pasta package says to cook 13 minutes for al dente. The pasta will continue to cook with residual heat from the soup.
  • Add spinach. Turn off the heat. Mix in the spinach. The residual heat will continue to cook the spinach. Adjust salt if needed.
  • Let the soup sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy.
