    • 4 stalks celery, diced
    • ½ (10 ounce) package frozen cut green beans
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots and celery; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 6 minutes.

2

Stir in green beans, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; cook for about 5 minutes. Add diced and crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth; bring to a boil. If it looks too thick, add a bit of water.

3

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in kidney beans, cannellini beans, and macaroni; cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

4

Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan-style cheese and fresh basil.
