  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 1 cup diced carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon Gold preferred)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

  • 3/4 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni)

    • Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic, celery, and carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable broth, water, green beans, zucchini, potatoes, kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Stir in dried oregano, basil, thyme, and season with about 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the pasta. Mix well and cook to tender.
  • Just before serving, stir in fresh spinach until wilted.
