Title : HEARTY VEGETABLE SOUP
HEARTY VEGETABLE SOUP
The bout of cold weather that recently hit the East Coast has me reaching for familiar comfort food--polenta, mac and cheese and lasagna are my favorites, but not the best choice when you're still trying to work off several rounds of holiday peppermint martinis. A bowl of rich, hearty soup can fill the comfort food void and my vegetable soup is a healthy and delicious choice. This recipe can be adapted to include your favorite vegetables-add some tubettini or other small pasta and a flourish of parmigiano cheese and you have a one pot meal full of comfort without the calories!
Hearty Vegetable Soup
One small onion chopped
1 cup of fennel chopped
1 zucchini chopped
1 large carrot chopped
1 clove of garlic minced
1 28 0z. can of Italian style diced tomatoes (San Marzano is best)
2 quarts of chicken stock
1 can of cannelli beans, drained
1 tablespoons of olive oil
tubettini pasta
parmigiano cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, fennel and carrots and saute for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper. Add zucchini to the pot and saute for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high and add stock and diced tomatoes. Once the soup begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large pot cook tubettini pasta according to directions-if you are serving the soup immediately, add the cooked pasta to the soup. Don't add the pasta to the soup if you plan to serve later-the pasta will absorb all the liquid and become mushy.
Garnish soup with freshly grated parmigiano cheese.
A vibrant medely of fresh vegetables
Simmering pot-delicious!
