Directions

  1. 1) Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. 2) Prep all fresh produce: wash the carrot, celery, zucchini, and garlic.
  3. 3) In a large pot, warm a little oil over medium-low heat and add garlic, chopped carrot, zucchini, celery, and a pinch of onion powder; cook until the vegetables soften, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. 4) Pour in the broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and the dried herbs; season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. 5) Drain and rinse the beans in a colander; stir both the cannellini and kidney beans into the pot along with the cooked pasta, warming through.
  6. 6) Shave Parmesan cheese with a vegetable peeler and serve the soup hot, topped with cheese as desired.

Two tips

  • Prep the vegetables and rinse the beans ahead of time for quicker finishing moments.
  • To switch things up, swap in parmesan shavings for a lighter sprinkle or drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.
