LET’S MAKE IT
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion and carrots for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften.
Add the garlic and oregano. Stir for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, drained beans, and broth.
Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until the carrots are tender. Stir from time to time.
Mash a few beans against the side of the pot to thicken the soup. Add a splash of water if needed. Taste and season with pepper and salt as desired.
A can of beans is a useful way to make a vegetable soup feel more substantial.
Cannellini, butter beans, or chickpeas all work. Cooking time may vary slightly.
