Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy-bottomed pot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, and add the celery, carrots, potatoes and garlic.

Allow to simmer over low heat until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and the parsley. Cook for 5 more minutes so that the flavors meld. Add the hot stock and season with salt and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, and add the zucchini and the cannellini beans. Bring back to a boil and then lower the heat so that the liquid is simmering. Cook for about 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked through.

Add more stock if necessary. Stir in the Parmigiano to taste, and top each serving with some chopped basil.
