Hearty Vegetable and Bean Minestrone Soup
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 leek, sliced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 quarts vegetable stock
  • 1 pound chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, with liquid
  • 1/4 cup elbow macaroni
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat, allowing the olive oil to warm up. Introduce sliced leeks, carrots, zucchini, green beans, and celery into the saucepan. Cover it with a lid, then decrease the heat to low and let the vegetables cook for 15 minutes, periodically stirring the pan to ensure even cooking.
2
Next, lift the lid and add stock, tomatoes, and thyme into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before covering it again, this time reducing the heat to low and letting it simmer gently for 30 minutes.

Subsequently, stir in undrained cannellini beans and pasta to the saucepan. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pasta reaches your desired level of tenderness. Season with salt and pepper before presenting the dish.
