Sunday soup

This afternoon I made this super easy white bean soup from Everyday Food.



I have this problem called whenever I make soup I like to add potato chunks and teeny pasta even if the recipe doesn't want me to, which way compromises the healthiness of whatever the soup is, but no matter, it's my favorite part of soup. This time I restrained myself from adding some little potato cubes but did add in some ditalini. The only downside to this is that the pasta sucks up a lot of extra liquid, so it needs extra water and/or extra broth.

This white bean soup was quick to make, and the only ingredient I had to buy for it that I didn't already have on hand was the scallions (now I have like a dozen extra scallions hanging around that I need to find something to do with, though). The broth is really flavorful too. A lot of times with homemade soups the broth comes out so blah, but the scallions and dried oregano are great for the broth.

Plus I am extra into making soups lately because they allow me to make use of my pretty pretty green enameled cast iron pot, which my mom gave me for Christmas.
