Hi Marilyn,
I have gifted the link (it only lasts for 30 days, and I have also included the PDF of the recipe.
My notes: I use the food processor to chop the vegetables before processing the beans. I usually add a parmesan rind (in cheesecloth) while making the soup. I have found if I don't wrap it, it sticks to the bottom of the pot and it's a mess. I sometimes add a drained can of fire roasted tomatoes, if I am the only one eating it. DH does not like tomatoes in anything (but will eat tomato sauce, if strained (eye roll) I use 2 garlic cloves, I don't like garlic overpowering a dish, but I'm sure it's delish with more, if you like it.
I cook the ditalini separately, drain and toss with a smidge of olive oil so the ditalini doesn't stick together. and keep in a separate container so it doesn't soak up the broth. Add as desired while reheating a portion. I would never use elbow noodles, the pasta needs to be on the small side. (I understand bigger noodles help stretch a meal
