Instructions
- Chop the white ends of the green onions about half way up the stalk. Reserve the green tips for soup garnish or another use. Chop celery into ¼- inch slices. Dice zucchini evenly. Finely mince the garlic.
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the green onion, celery, green beans and zucchini. Sauté the vegetables for 4-5 minutes; stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and bay and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and the chopped herbs. Bring soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the beans, fresh green peas, cooked pasta shells and salt. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until peas turn bright green.
- Remove from heat and add the fresh pepper and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese and additional basil.
Notes
- The soup is vegan if you leave off the Parmesan cheese at the end. Otherwise, it's vegetarian and gluten free.
