The ingredients for Vegetarian Pasta e Fagioli are:

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* mix of black, salt cured olives, chopped (you can also add some bac'un bits or veggie bacon because the olives are meant to take place of where pancetta would be)

* 1 (4 to 6-inch) sprig thyme with several sprigs on it, left intact
* 1 large fresh bay leaf or 2 dried bay leaves
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped

* Coarse salt and pepper
* 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
* 1 cup canned tomato sauce or canned crushed tomatoes
* 2 cups water
* 1 quart vegetable stock (preferably low sodium but all that I could find on here for the calculations was regular)

* Crusty bread (opt)

Here is how you make Vegetarian Pasta e Fagioli:

Heat a deep pot over medium high heat and add oil and olives (and/or bac'un if using). Soften the olive bits lightly, and add herb stems, bay leaf, chopped vegetables, and garlic. Season vegetables with salt and pepper. Add beans, tomato sauce, water, and stock to pot and raise heat to high. Bring soup to a rapid boil and add pasta. Reduce heat to medium and cook soup, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. some of the rosemary and thyme leaves will separate from stems as soup cooks. Remove herb stems and bay leaf from soup and take pot off burner. Let soup rest and begin to cool for a few minutes. Ladle soup into bowls. If using cheese go ahead and grate or shake some on top. The crusty bread would be used for mopping up the leftovers at the bottom of the bowlServing Size:?8
