Instructions: Note 1: I actually used nonfat vegetarian beef broth that I get from Whole Foods Market in the bulk bin. It is a powder and very flavorful.

Note 2: Use any pasta that will hold its shape ... penne would be another good choice

Cook pasta al dente then drain and rinse under cool running water to stop the cooking action.

While the pasta cooks, in a 4 - 6 qt pot bring the beef broth to a boil.

When it boils lower the heat and add the carrots, diced onions, cabbage and allspice. Cook on med-low for about 12 - 15 min or until the veggies are firm-tender. When they reach that point add in the pasta and continue to cook for an additional 5 min. Serve hot. Season with salt at the table.

Serves 4

Prep Time: about 15 min

Cooking Time: about 20 - 25 min

This was very good and quite filling.

NOTES : I was originally going to make a different soup using cabbage but found that I didnt have any canned white beans in the cabinet .... since I wanted a soup and felt that I needed to clean out some veggies from the refrigerator ... this soup came into existence. Had it for dinner tonite and it was good. Very quick and easy too!!
