Easy Spicy Tomato Soup

Here is another awesome Giada recipe that my sisters and I saw on T.V. over Christmas. It seemed really easy and got great reviews so I decided to give it a try. It was so good and only took 30 minutes to make. Great for a night when you have no clue what to make. I decreased the amount of red pepper and increased the chicken broth to make it little person friendly. Enjoy!

Easy Spicy Tomato Soup


Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (26-ounce) jar of your favorite marinara sauce (I used Newman's Own)
32 ounces chicken broth or homemade stock
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup pastina pasta (or any small pasta)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the jar of marinara sauce, chicken broth, cannellini beans, red pepper flakes, pasta, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.
