Saute the Mirepoix mix, zucchini garlic and green beans over medium heat until just tender, using cooking spray in a non-stick pot.

Add lima beans, both canned tomatoes, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.

Add spices, including salt and pepper to taste, cannellini beans and pasta. Cook 15 minutes longer, or until pasta is cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tip: add a small "rind" of parmesan cheese to the broth and remove just before serving. This adds a nutty flavor to the broth and some saltiness, so adjust your seasoning accordingly.
