1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing (I always add a little more than that)
1 cup chopped onions (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped celery (about 1 stalk)
1/2 cup chopped carrots (about 1 medium)
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (19 oz.) red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
2 cans (14 oz. each) vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 tsp. Italian seasoning (if you don’t have this – just throw in some seasoning salt)
1-1/2 cups small shell macaroni, uncooked 1/2 cup
Grated Parmesan Cheese
I add a can of tomato paste with the broth and a chopped zucchini when I add the pasta.
