Heat olive oil in a large pot or high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Add in diced onions and sauté, stirring frequently & being careful not to burn, for about 5 minutes, until onions are soft and translucent. Add in shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they are soft and translucent. Add in garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. To this mixture add in chicken broth, water, Parmesan rind, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil and then gently simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add in the Pastina and allow to simmer for 7 minutes. Add in the frozen veggies and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Add in the beans, stir to combine, and taste for seasoning. Remove the Parmesan rind and thyme sprigs from the soup. Serve in bowls and top with red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
