Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large soup pot, combine the celery, carrots, onions, leek, fennel, parsley, thyme and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add 8 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for 40- 60 minutes (I cooked it longer to get every last veggie flavor infused into the broth). Strain the broth into a clean saucepan and season with salt. Discard solids.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook the ditalini until al dente. Drain and rinse under cool water. Toss the ditalini with the 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 3

To the broth, add the white wine, if using. Return the vegetable broth to a simmer. Add the asparagus, peas and fava beans. Simmer over moderately low heat until the vegetables are bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and ditalini (or orzo) and cook until the pasta is heated through, about 1 minute. Add the black pepper, tasting for seasoning. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired and serve while hot.

The broth alone is worth making this recipe. Smells delicious and tastes just so! Adding the other ingredients make for a delicious light soup, perfect for this time of year when the temperatures are high and we want something light. Thanks for sharing!
