Chickpea and Tomato Soup with Ditalini
A nearly infinite variety of variations on the classic bean and pasta soup can be found throughout Italy. No wonder it's so popular -- it's hearty, filling, and delicious. This soup can also be made with leftover cooked pasta -- just add during the last few minutes to heat up.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 can (15-ounce) crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
red pepper flakes
