How to make it

  • In a large stock pot, over medium-low heat, heat olive oil and saute garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add celery and carrots, saute for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, water and tomato sauce, bring to boil, stirring frequently. If desired add red wine at this point. Reduce heat to low and add kidney beans, green beans, spinach leaves, zucchini, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, the longer the better.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender. Drain water and set aside.
  • Once pasta is cooked and soup is heated through place 2 tablespoons cooked pasta into individual serving bowls. Ladle soup on top of pasta and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Spray with olive oil and serve.

    So nice to see this recipe posted here. It's a good one and so adaptable to personal tastes. My review, in brief, as noted on A.R. and the original recipe ... "I used fresh green beans and did add more spinach, used 4 c. chicken broth and added water as needed to adjust consistency of stock. I used 2 c. no salt tomato sauce so I could better control sodium levels and sub'd cauliflower for zucchini because I don't care for zucchini."
