You could easily tweak this to be similar to something I grew up with, from Slovenia: https://www.tasteatlas.com/manestra Maybe cook longer and blend some of it to thicken it up.

Ours typically had pork and Polish sausage added, plus this type of pasta: https://www.google.com/search?q=Ditalini&safe=off&source=lnm...

It's similar to what Italians would know of as Pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans) but obviously varies by region, even village by village.

Very familiar with pasta fagioli (Italian heritage). Ill check this out tho, thanks!
If you cook the pasta in the soup, it will significantly shorten its shelf life.

Better cook it separately and add it to the current portion you are eating.

Pasta e fagioli, o coi fagioli

If it's about heritage get it right, it's worth it.

The funny thing is that we call that minestra in Italy. I keep being pleasantly surprised by how food is just different shades when you move from country to country...
That's just a weird Croatian name - it's mostly called minestra everywhere.. :)
I'm italian and thank you for reminding me that we have that deliciousness. I don't know why I don't make it more often.
