Warm up your evening with a bowl of Orzo e Fagioli that's not only comforting but also incredibly satisfying.

1

Start by finely dicing the onion, carrot, and celery. This will take about 5 minutes.

2

In a large pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

3

Mince the garlic cloves and add to the pot. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

4

Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

5

Add 1 cup of orzo and 1 can of rinsed cannellini beans to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked al dente.

6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley just before serving.

7

Serve hot in bowls, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
