Ingredients

    Garlic, 5 cloves crushed
    Green Beans , 1 cup
    Lima Beans, 2 cups
    1 Bag Kroger Recipe Beginnings Mirepoix Mix
    1 medium diced zucchini
    *365 Cannellini Beans, 350 gram(s)
    Del Monte Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added, 1.75 cup
    Crushed tomatoes, 1 cup
    Chicken Broth, 3 cups
    Water, tap, 2.5 cups (8 fl oz)
    Dried Basil, 2 tbsp
    Dried Oregano, 1 tbsp
    Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish.

Directions

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.

Makes approximately 7 servings, 1 1/2 cups each.
