  • This is such a wonderful soup! We all loved it. It was served with homemade garlic bread.
  • We stirred some fresh spinach at the end, but this is optional.
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium red potatoes, diced
  • 3 cups thinly sliced cabbage
  • 1 can cannellini beans, drained
  • 1 small can diced tomatoes
  • 4 small or 2 large cans chicken broth
  • 1/2 t dried rosemary, rubbed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Heat a little oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or til softened.
  2. Add carrots and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese.
  3. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently 1 to 2 hours.
  4. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
