Minestrone with Cannellini Beans

White Bean Minestrone

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups diced zucchini
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 1 clove garliccrushed
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup chopped potato
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 16 oz can of Cannelini Beans
  • 1/4 cup basic tomato sauce
  • 1 chicken bouillon vegetable or beef
  • Fresh parsley
  • 2-4 tbsp Olive oil
  • 8 cups water

Instructions
 

  • In a stock pot Sauté the vegetables in the olive oil for a few minutes and then add the water. Add the bouillon cube and the sauce and bring to a simmer. When vegetables reach a semi soft stage add the white beans and continue to simmer on med/low until vegetables are cooked through. Add the peas and stir. Using an immersion blender purée half the soup to create a thicker consistency. This will give the soup a creamier texture. Bring back to a boil and then serve with a little grated Parmesan or other cheese.
