It is snowing here today in the Pacific Northwest..a perfect day for a nice hearty soup for dinner. This soup fills the house with a delicious aroma. Since we are both home from work today, we even made homemade pretzels to go with it. Yum! (Check in the post search area for this recipe).
3 T. olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 c. fresh cut green beans
1 stalk celery, diced
4 cloves of minced garlic
4 c. vegetable broth
2 cans kidney beans, drained
2 cans small white beans, drained
2 T. parsley
1 1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. basil
1/4 t. thyme
1 (14 0z.) can tomatoes
1/2 c. small shell pasta
Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add onion, celery, garlic, green beans and zucchini. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, drained tomatoes, beans, carrots, hot water and spices to the pot.
