Instructions

Place all ingredients in large pot, add water to 1.5 times height of vegetables ( egs. if vegies reach 1/2 way up the pot, fill water to 3/4 of the way up).
Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and add some salt and pepper.
Once the soup has cooked for about 3 to 4 hours taste for seasoning (don’t be afraid of adding more salt and fresh cracked pepper in this case)
Add the pasta 5-10 minutes before serving.
Add a dollop of pesto or shredded parmesan cheese at the table and serve with crusty whole grain bread.
Bueno Appetito!
