Directions
Chop all ingredients. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the celery and carrot and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add herbs, spices, salt and pepper.

Add tomato paste and the chicken base to the pot with about 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 1-2 hours. Stir in the kidney beans and pasta and cook until the pasta and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Ladle into bowls and top with the parmesan.
Enjoy!
