Instructions

  1. Prepare all of the ingredients- dice the onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, zucchini, mince the garlic. Measure and set out all of the other ingredients so they’ll be ready to go.
  2. Heat a large pot or dutch oven with the oil over medium high heat.
  3. Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until onions are translucent and carrots are tender. Be sure not to completely cook because they will continue cooking as the rest of the soup is being made.
  4. Add in the garlic, cook for another minute until it becomes fragrant. 
  5. Add in the potatoes, zucchini, and herbs/spices and stir until everything is completely combined.
  6. Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
  7. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and let simmer for roughly 10 minutes.
  8. Add in the pasta and the beans. If you need to add more liquid, feel free to add in some more vegetable broth or water.
  9. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the pasta and the potatoes are both completely cooked.
  10. Take off the heat, let cool, and serve!
  11. Garnish with some finely chopped parsley and/or some freshly grated parmesan!
  12. Enjoy!!
