Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil

1/4 medium sweet onion, diced

1 medium celery stalk, diced

1/2 medium carrot, diced

1 zucchini, diced

1 clove minced garlic

Salt / pepper to taste

1 tbsp tomato paste

15 oz. can diced tomatoes

1 cup fat free chicken broth

1 cup water

1/2 cup red wine (optional)

1/2 cup chopped green beans

1/2 medium red waxy potato, diced (don't use a Russet, it will fall apart)

1 cup cooked kidney or cannellini beans

1/2 cup small-cut pasta

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil, to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a stockpot.

Add onion, celery and carrot, cook until onion is beginning to brown, stirring.

Add zucchini, garlic, salt and pepper and stir until fragrant, no longer or it will burn.

Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables and lightly cook.

Pour in diced tomatoes, broth, water, red wine if using, green beans and the diced potato. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.

Add beans, pasta, and cheese (if using).

Continue simmering (uncovered this time) until pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes.

Stir in fresh basil to taste immediately before serving.
