Instructions
In a large stock pot, add the oil, onions, celery and carrots. Once softened, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and sun dried tomato pesto. If you don't have (or can't find) the pesto, it's easy to make! Just drain sun dried tomatoes and chop until they resemble pesto.
Now add the stock and water along with all of your herbs.
Add the green beans, kidney beans, butter beans and zucchini and cook until the zucchini is almost tender.
Raise the heat to a low boil and add the pasta. Cook until al dente.
Finally, add the spinach. It should take less than a minute to wilt.
Top with vegan parmesan, nutritional yeast and/or freshly snipped Italian flat leaf parsley.
