Ingredients

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

3 stalks celery, diced (use some of the leaves)

3 carrots, peeled and diced

1/4 head green cabbage, shredded

1/4 pound green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 clove garlic, minced

3 to 4 sprigs parsley, preferably Italian, chopped

1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste*

2 cups low-salt beef broth

9 cups water

1 or 2 cans kidney or cannellini (white kidney beans) drained and rinsed

3 small zucchini, chopped

1 cup small pasta, such as elbow pasta, cooked according to package directions

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

*I like to use 1/2 of a can of tomato paste and 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juice.

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven; add the onion, celery, carrots, cabbage, green beans, garlic and parsley. Saute over low heat until they are wilted. Add the tomato paste (and canned tomatoes if using); beef broth and water; simmer 45 minutes.

Add the beans, zucchini and pasta. Simmer until heated through and the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.

Ladle into warmed bowls, top with Parmesan cheese.
