This version has been tried and adjusted, taste-tested, and approved by both adults and children. It is packed with vegetables and flavor and super easy to make! You can use exactly the vegetables you have in the fridge…. with a base of tomato, carrots, onions, garlic – and of course bacon, it just works, no matter what you put in.
Prepare all the vegetables and first sauté onions and garlic in a little oil in a pot. When they are soft, add potatoes and carrots, sauté for a couple of minutes. Add zucchini and leek, sauté for a few more minutes.
Add water, tomatoes, bouillon cubes, and spices. Bring it all to a boil and then let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the ditalini pasta during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
While the soup simmers, fry the bacon until crispy.
