Instructions
1
In a large pot, sauté the onion, carrot and celery in olive oil over medium heat. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.
2
Add the garlic, zucchini, oregano and dried basil. Sauté for another 2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
3
Pour the diced tomatoes and stock into the pot. If you have a Parmesan rind, add it now. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
4
Stir in the whole-grain pasta and drained beans. Cook for another 8–10 minutes (or until the pasta is "al dente").
5
Just before finishing, stir in the fresh spinach or kale. Cook for just a minute or two, until the greens wilt but keep their bright color.
6
Remove the Parmesan rind. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in deep bowls, sprinkled with fresh basil and a little grated Parmesan.
