I don’t know the name of this soup but here goes...

Soak: 1/2 C white kidney beans

Saute: 4 pieces of lean bacon chopped fine
When partially cooked add 2-3 cloves of garlic and finish sauteing.

Add to: 2 quarts chicken stock
soaked kidney beans

Bring all ingredients to a boil.

Add: Ditalini and endive to taste
(amounts vary to taste)

Simmer until pasta is done.
Season with salt and white pepper.

That would be pasta e fagioli, aka “pasta fazool.” Macaroni and beans. Thanks for the recipe!
