Ingredients

1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce
2 (14-ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (reduce quantity to make less spicy)
3/4 cup of any small pasta (i.e., pastina)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
