Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Heat 2 tablespoons of water in a large pot over medium-low heat. Saute onion, carrots, and celery and increase the heat to medium. Cook until onions become translucent, stirring frequently. If bottom of pot becomes brown, add 2 tablespoons of water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add the broth, salt, beans, lentils, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and rosemary. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are just tender, 15-30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Use a slotted spoon to transfer 1 cup of bean mixture and a little liquid to a blender. Puree until smooth and set aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add the dried pasta to the pot and stir to incorporate. Turn the heat up to a gentle boil and cook until pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, about 8-12 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Stir the reserved pureed bean mixture into the soup. Cook briefly until soup is heated through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Remove the soup from heat and season with salt. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":4873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2706],"yst_prominent_words":[2473,2484,1038,1631,1321,697],"class_list":["post-20512","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-soup_and_stews","cp_recipe_cuisine-italian","cp_recipe_cooking_method-boiling","cp_recipe_cooking_method-sauteing","cp_recipe_tags-diabetes","cp_recipe_tags-gluten-free","cp_recipe_tags-low-fat","cp_recipe_tags-nut-free","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos","cp_recipe_tags-soy-free"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20512"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20512"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
