directions
- In a large dutch oven put the olive oil and the diced onion and saute about 6-7 minutes over medium-high heat.
- The onion should have softened but not yet be brown.
- Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
- Add the celery, leek, tomatoes, beans, vegetable broth, parsley, bay leaf, cayenne and black pepper.
- Bring mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20-30 minutes until everything is tender.
- Break the angel hair pasta (or other thin pasta) into 3-4" lengths.
- Add to the pan and cook until tender.
- Add salt to taste.
- This may be still a bit soupy once it is done cooking, but let it sit for about 30 minutes, and all of the liquid will be gone by then, and then just reheat.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
