Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil or 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 white or yellow onion – chopped
- 2 garlic cloves – minced
- 6 large tomatoes – quartered
- 5 ounces or ¾ cup of green beans – sliced at an angle
- 1 15 ounce can of cannellini beans – drained and rinsed well
- ¼ cup of flat leaf parsley – chopped
- 6 cups of vegetable stock
- ¾ cup of short cut pasta – such as penne or ziti
- 2 handfuls of arugula + more for garnishing
- Ground sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil or water on medium heat in a large stock pot. Add the onion and stir. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes or until they begin to sweat and become transparent. Add the garlic and tomatoes and stir. Cook for two minutes. Add the green beans, cannellini beans, parsley, stock, and pasta and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for approximately 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When the pasta is done and the soup has thickened, add the salt and pepper to taste and stir in the arugula.
- Top the bowls of minestrone with some fresh arugula and vegan parmesan cheese.
