Ingredients
-
1 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes, cut up with juice
2 tbsp. parsley
1&1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
5 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup broken spaghetti (Whole Wheat if you've got it!)
2 cans beans (I like cannelini beans and dark red kidney beans)
2 cups desired veggies (I use zucchini and carrots)
Directions
1. In large pot, cook onion, garlic & celery in olive oil until soft
2. Add tomatoes with juice, parsley, basil, oregano, pepper & bay leaf. Add broth.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover & simmer for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add veggies. Simmer, covered 15 minutes.
5. Add spaghetti & kidney beans, cook another 15 minutes.
6. I usually love this with some crusty French Bread and some Boursin, but I guess that's how I wound up at Spark People in the first place. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

This is great! I made a couple of alterations: I added 1/2 can tomato paste for more flavor & added a handful of fresh bagged spinach to the pot at the end. For pasta, I used a 1/4 cup whole wheat macaroni, because that's what I had, & it's wonderful. Filling, hearty, diet- friendly comfort food. - 1/11/09

Great recipe. I added 1 cup mushrooms, stalk of kale chopped up and a serranto pepper for a little extra spice. Also add 1 lb ground turkey for my husband....he loves meat and hoping he doesn't even realize it's turkey! Ended up adding additional broth and small can of tomato paste. Awesome! - 4/4/09
