1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes (or 3 1/4–3 1/2 cups fresh tomatoes)
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2–3/4 inch pieces
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1.5 cups carrots, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely minced
2 cups frozen or fresh corn
2 cups frozen or fresh peas
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoons black pepper
1.5 tablespoons sugar
Small pasta, optional (ditalini, macaroni, or alphabet pasta)
Instructions
- If using an immersion blender: Add water, white beans, tomato paste, and 1/3 cup diced tomatoes to a large soup pot. Blend until smooth.
- If using a regular blender: Puree white beans, tomato paste, and 1/3 cup diced tomatoes with 4–6 cups warm water. Pour into the pot with remaining water.
- Bring the puree mixture to a boil. Add green beans, diced potatoes, and carrots. Cook for 10 minutes.

- Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
