Ingredients Tap to tick off

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained
  • 1 cup small pasta
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt

Method

  1. Cook the onion, carrots and celery in the oil over medium heat for 8 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook 2 minutes more.
  3. Add the tomatoes, broth, beans, Italian seasoning and salt. Simmer 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the pasta and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Thin with a little more broth when reheating, since the pasta keeps absorbing liquid.
Chef's tipIf you plan to have leftovers, cook the pasta separately and add it to each bowl. Pasta left in the soup keeps soaking up broth.

Storing leftovers

Keeps: 4 days in the fridge.

Freezer: Freeze without the pasta for up to 3 months.
