- 3 celery chopped, stalks
- 2 potato chopped, red
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon sage ground
- 2 diced tomatoes 14.5 ounce cans
- 6 cups vegetable broth low sodium, or chicken broth

- 1 green beans 14.5 ounce can, cut, drained

Instructions
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, add oil and heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.

- Add the 3 types of beans and cook an additional 8 minutes.
- Remove the parmesan rind (or leave it in and eat it).
- Test the soup for flavor and add desired amount of salt.
- Serve with crusty bread and shredded parmesan cheese
