Here is how you make Ditalini and Bean Soup:

In 5-quart saucepan, heat oil and saute ham, onion & garlic until onion is tender, but not brown. Stir in water, tomato sauce, beans, parsley and pepper; heat to boiling.Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes to blend flavors. Return soup to a boil. Add ditalini and boil, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until ditalini is tender.8 servings (3/4 cups each).Note: the nutritional content is slightly incorrect b/c I drained the beans (reduces sodium) and used Prego HeartSmart spaghetti sauce, which reduces sodium, fat & sugar.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ACLARK84.
