This Italian-style bean soup with winter vegetables and pasta also has pancetta, squash and cabbage - so it's a really hearty one-pot dish! It's very easy to make, so it's perfect for lazy, winter days and nights. Serve it with crusty wholesome bread or rolls!
Ingredients
- 100g pancetta (or lardons)
- 1 onion

- 1 tin chopped tomatoes (400 ml)
- 100g Orzo or other small pasta
- 1 can white beans (cannellini)
- ½ Savoy cabbage

Instructions
- Finely chop the onion. Peel the squash, remove the seeds, then cut into 2 cm cubes.
- Heat a little oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion, pancetta and rosemary for about 10 minutes.
- When the onion is soft, add the squash cubes, chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer at low temperature for 10 minutes.
