    1 cup diced celery
    2 cups diced carrots
    10-oz canned sliced mushrooms, drained
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp black pepper
    1/2 cup red wine
    4 cups beef broth
    1 29-oz can diced tomatoes
    1 cup mushroom tomato sauce
    1 cup dry adzuki beans, soaked overnight
    1 bay leaf
    1 tbsp dried basil
    1/2 tbsp dried oregano
    3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided
    6.5 oz baby red potatoes, halved or quartered if large

    5.5 oz chopped asparagus
    5 oz chopped green beans
    Salt, to taste

Directions

Heat water in a large stockpot over medium-high.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, stirring to crumble.
Add shallots, zucchini, bell pepper, celery, carrots and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper, cook 2 minutes further.
Add wine, stirring vigorously to dislodge browned bits, then stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, bay leaf, basil, oregano and 2 tbsp of the Parmesan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the potatoes and remaining Parmesan.
Partially cover the pot and simmer 1 hour longer, until beans are tender.
Stir in the water, rice, asparagus and green beans and simmer (covered) 25-30 minutes longer, until rice is cooked and vegetables are tender. Add salt to taste.
