Vegan Minestrone Beans & Potatoes (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
02 - 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
03 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 2 medium carrots, finely diced
05 - 1 small fennel bulb, cored and diced
06 - 5 minced garlic cloves
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1/4 cup tomato paste
11 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 - 1/2 small green cabbage, rough chopped
13 - 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
14 - 3 cups cooked beans, rinsed and drained
15 - 1 medium zucchini, diced
16 - 1 28-oz can fire-roasted tomatoes
17 - 8 cups veggie stock
18 - 1 cup green beans, chopped
19 - 1 1/2 cups dry pasta (small shape)
20 - 1 tablespoon light miso
21 - 1 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up the oil in a pot and cook the onion until soft. Toss in the carrots, fennel, and celery, letting them soften. Add the garlic, paprika, oregano, rosemary, and chili flakes after.
02 - Stir in tomato paste and let it cook a bit. Add the potatoes, beans, stock, cabbage, and canned tomatoes. Once it starts bubbling, reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes.
03 - Add in the zucchini, pasta, and green beans. Let everything cook together for around 12 minutes or until the pasta softens.
04 - Mix the miso into some hot soup broth to dissolve, then add back to the pot. Sprinkle in parsley and adjust the taste with salt if needed.

# Notes:

01 - Swap in any fresh vegetables you’ve got on hand.
02 - Stored pasta will soak up broth over time.
03 - Adding miso at the end keeps its nutrients intact.
