Wholesome and delicious, this soup will be a favorite at your house. Make a pan of cornbread to go along with it.

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, preferably plum tomatoes
• 2 - 19-ounce cans cannelloni beans
• 1/2 pound baked ham, finely chopped
• 1 quart chicken stock
• 2 quarts water
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup tiny pasta shells
• salt and pepper, to taste

Bring the soup to a boil, stirring often. Then, lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for 30 minutes. Add the pasta shells, return soup to a boil, lower the heat, cover the pan, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes more.

Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper, if desired. Serve at once. Makes about 8 servings.

Note: Don't sauté the garlic with the onion. Your final result will taste better because the garlic will cook more quickly than the onions, and over-browned garlic is bitter.
