Scale
2 slices turkey bacon (cooked, drained, and finely sliced)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 cup carrots (thinly sliced)
¾ cup celery (diced)
1 tsp salt
1½ tsp black pepper
4 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried parsley
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 (15 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
6 cups water
1 (16 oz) box ditalini pasta (uncooked)
1 cup grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Drain it well, slice it into small pieces, and add it to the slow cooker.
Add onions, carrots, celery, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, basil, parsley, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, cannellini beans, chicken broth, and water to the slow cooker. Stir everything until well combined.
Cover your slow cooker. Cook on low for about 7-8 hours or on high for about 4-5 hours. Thirty minutes before serving time, stir in the ditalini pasta.
Once done cooking, ladle into bowls. Sprinkle Parmesan Reggiano cheese on top when serving for an added touch of flavor.
