HEARTY MINESTRONE SOUP


Here's what you need:
1 Tbl. olive oil
1 small onion
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/8 teaspoon each:
oregano
basil
garlic
pepper
1/2 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1 can beef broth (14.5 0z.)
1 can chicken broth (14.5 oz.)
1/2 cup fresh broccoli flowerets
1/2 cup fresh green beans (I used canned)
1/2 cup fresh cut carrots
1 can diced tomatoes (14.4oz.)
1 cup uncooked bow-tie macaroni
Parmesan cheese for topping


What you do:

Saute onion, celery, and peppers in oil. Add spices, salt, and pepper. Add beef and chicken broth, let simmer 10 min. Steam broccoli, beans and carrots until tender (I just add them to the soup broth instead of dirtying another pan:) add tomatoes to broth. Add macaroni just before you are ready to eat. top with cheese. This is very forgiving soup if you have a missing veggie or don't care for a veggie you can substitute it for something else. (my likes it better with a little Italian Sausage in it, what is it with men and meat:)
