At a glance
You're making a hearty Italian soup that comes together in under 40 minutes, with sautéed veggies, tomato purée, and canned legumes creating a satisfying main course. The trickiest part is managing the two simmering stages—the first builds flavor while the second lets everything come together—but both are pretty hands-off. Fresh herbs at the end brighten up the whole bowl, and you can easily dial back the intensity with a dollop of yogurt if you prefer.
