RECIPE: Minestrone Soup

INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups onions, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
32 ounces vegetable broth
14.5 ounce can tomatoes diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 1/2 cups green beans, cut in 1/2 inch pieces (about 1/3 pound)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup elbow macaroni
15.5 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (or to taste)
Parmesan cheese (if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat.
2: Sauté the onion until soft.
3: Add the garlic and sauté another minute.
4: Stir in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, green beans and oregano.
5: Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the carrots are soft.
6: Add the macaroni and beans to the simmering soup. Cook until the pasta is tender (see package for approximate cooking time).
7: Add salt and pepper to taste.
8: Serve. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired.

NOTES:
Add up to a cup of macaroni for a much thicker soup.
Add more or less vegetables and seasonings as desired.
You can use frozen cut green beans in place of fresh. Add them at the same time as the macaroni and beans so they don’t get over cooked.
You can substitute 4 teaspoons instant vegetable broth seasoning and 4 cups of water for the liquid vegetable broth.
Cannellini beans are white kidney beans.
You can double this recipe.
