Minestrone Soup

Just to get my first post and see what it looks like, here's my first recipe! I got this one from my nonna in Toronto, she makes the best minestrone out there and it just happens to be vegan. I had to get it for you guys!

Recipe

3-4 cups vegetable stock

1 small carrot, chopped

½ onion, diced

1 can green beans OR 1 zucchini, diced

1 can stewed tomatoes

¾ cup uncooked pasta

1 can drained kidney beans

2 tbsp Italian seasonings (basil, parsley, oregano, thyme, etc)

1 clove garlic, diced

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 potato, diced

¾ cup cabbage, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

salt, pepper and cayenne to taste

Instructions

Sautee carrot, onion and celery with olive oil on medium heat in a pot large enough to hold a large volume of soup. When onions are transparent, pour in the stock, tomatoes and potato. Cook on low heat ‘til potatoes are nearly cooked. Add pasta, beans, garlic, cabbage and seasonings. Cook ‘til pasta is al dente and serve with salt and pepper according to taste.
