3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, quartered and halved
2 garlic cloves, minced
5.5 cups water
1 can (29 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans
1 can (15 oz) navy beans
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dried parsley
1.5 tsp dried basil
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt

Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook until tender. Reduce the heat and add water, tomato sauce, cannellini beans, navy beans, Parmesan, parsley, basil, oregano, and salt. Simmer for 1 hour.

In a separate pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes; then drain and stir into the soup.
