Ingredients
- 1/2 white onion, quartered
- 3 Roma tomatoes, quartered
- 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 7 oz alphabet pasta
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 tsp salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the onion, tomatoes, garlic, pepper, and vegetable broth and purée until smooth.
- In a Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the alphabet pasta and heat, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the puréed mixture, stir well, and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and darkens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the water, stir well, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt, ladle into bowls, and serve.
Notes
- Toasting the pasta slightly before adding liquid adds a nutty depth.
- Don't skip puréeing the vegetables; it creates a smoother, more flavorful broth base.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your taste, especially after the soup has simmered. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
