  1. Heat olive oil over medium low heat. Sauté garlic, onion, celery, salt and herbs for 5-7 minutes. Add tomatoes, beer, chicken broth, bay leaf, pepper and Parmesan cheese rind. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Start water to cook pasta. Add 6 cups of water to soup. Simmer while water is boiling and pasta cooks. Drain pasta thoroughly. Do not add pasta to soup. Set it aside in a separate bowl. Drain and rinse beans. Add to soup and heat through. This gets better with time, so it can sit for a while. When ready to serve, add pasta to soup. Top with grated Parmesan cheese. You don’t have to keep the pasta separate from the rest of the soup. If you add it to the soup immediately, the pasta will thicken it considerably. The beer and the chicken broth are optional, but for me, it’s just not the same without them.
