Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Add the rinsed beans, zucchini, cabbage, oregano, and basil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the pasta. Cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a Parmesan rind while simmering (remove before serving).
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a small portion of the beans against the side of the pot before adding the pasta.
  • Feel free to substitute other quick-cooking vegetables you have on hand.
