Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 large carrots, diced
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
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
6 cups vegetable broth
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup elbow macaroni
⅓ cup vegan shredded Parmesan-style cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

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