The soup company who shall not be named. Minestrone, but make it tomato forward, veggie packed, and that classic soft pasta vibe you grew up on. 👵🥣🍅

🥣 Ingredients
Unsalted butter 10 g (about 2 tsp)
Yellow onion, very finely minced 30 g (about 3 tbsp)
Celery, very finely minced 15 g (about 2 tbsp)
Carrot, very finely minced 15 g (about 2 tbsp)
Garlic, minced 3 g (about 1 small clove)
Crushed tomatoes 220 g (about 1 cup)
Tomato paste 20 g (about 1 tbsp)
Vegetable broth 260 g (about 1 cup plus 2 tbsp)
Water 40 g (about 3 tbsp)
Green beans, cut very small 20 g (about 2 tbsp)
Zucchini, very finely diced 20 g (about 2 tbsp)
Kidney beans, drained and rinsed 50 g (about 1/4 cup)
Great northern beans, drained and rinsed 40 g (about 3 tbsp)
Small pasta (ditalini or tiny shells) 20 g dry (about 2 tbsp)
Kosher salt 4 g (about 3/4 tsp)
Sugar 2 g (about 1/2 tsp)
Dried basil 0.5 g (about 1/4 tsp)
Dried oregano 0.5 g (about 1/4 tsp)
Black pepper 0.3 g (about 1/8 tsp)
Optional boosters: vegetable bouillon 0.5 g, MSG 0.25 g

🥄 Instructions

Melt butter on medium low. Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until very soft, no browning.

Stir in tomato paste 30 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes and mix.

Add broth and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Add green beans, zucchini, kidney beans, and great northern beans. Simmer 5 minutes.

Add pasta. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until very soft.

Season with salt, sugar, basil, oregano, pepper, and optional boosters. Simmer 1 more minute.

Let it cool a bit. The broth tightens and tastes even closer to the can.

💡 Pro Tips
• Cut everything tiny and uniform. That classic soup texture is not rustic.
• Keep it gentle. Browning makes it taste homemade, not nostalgic.
• Pasta goes soft on purpose. That is the point for ready to serve style.

  4. oh what cam bulls didnt like being called out for being – in my opinion – greedy, glutinous, soulless, theiving, self-serving, worthless, selfish, wasteful, earth-destroying, evil wastes of flesh who openly state their processed garbage food product is for poor people? well then maybe a certain ceo needs to be reminded that as the fat cats get richer amd richer, we get poorer and hungrier and may be forced to obtain our own food.🖕😊🖕😋🦵🍗

  5. Granny could you do a harvest lentil soup? I had a canned harvest lentil soup a long time ago and could never find the brand again

  6. What is that chopping thing you use? Please help me granny, my Granny's never cooked only to say clean as you go.

  7. Holy bean and bacon…….. did Campbell’s send you something as that “Allegedly” seamed a bit extra than normal

  8. Campbell's UK discontinued my favourite soup when I was a kid. I was addicted to their condensed scotch broth. There's something in the other brands I hated. But theirs was perfect. Then they stopped selling it in Scotland (where I was…and where the soup is from!) but kept selling it in England and Wales. Then just got rid of it completely.
    For a while they insisted it was still available but it was a lie!

  9. I don't doubt that this is better cuz they changed the recipe awhile ago and ill never forgive them
