Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 7-10 minutes until softened and the onions are translucent.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes and broth, add zucchini, green beans, kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover slightly. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add elbow macaroni and simmer uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until pasta and vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh basil and ladle into bowls, finishing with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
