Ingredients

Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

2

Add zucchini, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, Italian herbs, salt, and Parmesan rind if using. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.

3

Add pasta and beans. Cook for 10 minutes until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach and cook 1 minute until wilted.

Tip: Cook the pasta directly in the soup so it absorbs the flavors. If making ahead, cook pasta separately to prevent it from getting mushy.

4

Remove Parmesan rind. Serve with grated Parmesan on top and crusty bread alongside.
