Minestrone Soup


4 tbsp butter, 3/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 19 oz can cannellini beans, 1/2 cup shredded cabbage, 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups cubed potatoes, 1 quart chicken broth, 2-3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp parsley, 1 tsp salt, sprinkle of italian seasoning and black pepper, 1/2-1 cup ditalini macaroni, grated parmesan cheese
Melt butter in heavy pot over med. heat. Add onion, celery, carrots and saute for few min. Add beans, cabbage, tomatoes, tomato paste, potato, broth, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and italian seasoning to pot. Bring to boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 1 hr til vegs start to tender. --- Boil pasta in separate pot til al dente, drain and rinse with cold water, set aside. (It's better to keep separate so noodles don't get mushy and change soup consistently.
Serve hot, mix in some noodles, sprinkle with grated cheese. Yum!
