Minestrone Soup
1/2 c. (or less) chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. oil
1/4 tsp pepper
3 c. beef broth
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes + 1/4 can water
1-2 tbsp dried parsley
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 bay leaf
4 cups chopped veggies (potatoes, carrots, zucchini)
3/4 c. (about 1/2 can) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1-2 oz small shell pasta
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish-optional)
Saute onion, celery and garlic in oil, in large soup pot, until tender. Add broth, tomatoes, water and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20-30 minutes. Add veggies, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes (depending on how big your pieces are chopped). Stir in bean and pasta and cook until pasta is al dente. Remove bay leaf, sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired, and serve.
