Instructions: This simple meatless dinner can be on the table in less than 45 min.

*NOTE: Original recipe used regular veggie broth but stated you could use chicken broth

Coat a Dutch oven with cooking spray; add oil and place over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 3 ingredients; saute until veggies are crisp-tender.

Add vegetable broth and next 7 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 min, stirring occasionally.

Add pasta to vegetable mixture. Cover and cook 10 - 15 min or until pasta is tender. Ladle soup into individual bowls; top each serving with 1 T cheese.

Yield: 8 (1 1/4 C) servings

Note: Cannellini beans are white kidney beans. You can use any other small white beans or an additional can of red kidney beans if you dont have cannellini beans in the pantry.

This was very good. We let it sit a couple of hours before we served it and it thickened up to a stew consistency.
