Ingredients
- 1 onion finely diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 carrot halved lengthwise and sliced
- 2 celery sliced, stalks
- 1 russet potato peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes one can, canned
- 1 Large zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced
- 8 Ounce tomato sauce one can
- 4 Cups vegetable broth
- 15 Ounce Kidney Beans drained and rinsed, one can
- 1/2 Cup whole wheat macaroni Use Gluten-free Option, uncooked
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese Optional for non-vegans, finely grated, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, zucchini, and potato to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are browned and starting to soften 4-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth to the pot.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the kidney beans and pasta. Simmer until pasta is tender, approximately 6 minutes or according to cook time on pasta package.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with parsley and serve, topped with parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Ideally use a good soup pot. Something with a wide and thick bottom helps cook the veggies more evenly.
- If you like you can cook your pasta separately, this keeps it more al dente.
- Add the Italian seasoning before you add the broth, this helps the flavors of the seasoning bloom more.
- Make sure to add the beans near the end and just heat it through. That ensures the beans don't break down and remain nice and plump.
- For those that aren't making this as a vegan recipe, you can add some Parmesan cheese are garnish.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brings the soup together!
