This hearty pot of soup is loaded with vegetables. Add a loaf of crusty bread and some fruit and you have a complete meal.
Saute the onion in oil for a minute or two, add garlic and continue to saute for a minute. Add in the celery and saute for 1-2 minutes more. Mix in the carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, broth and bay. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer until vegetables start to tenderize. Add in the beans and cabbage and continue to cook until tender. Toward the end of cooking time add the zucchini, basil and cooked pasta. Heat through and serve. Season with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese and enjoy.
