Method:

 

  • Add olive oil to a large pot and turn the heat to medium. Once warm, place the onion, carrot, and celery in the pot and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add potatoes, courgette, tomatoes, stock, spices, and a bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer. Place a lid, partially covering the pot, so that the steam can escape. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • While the soup simmers, cook the pasta in a separate pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and rinse the pasta in cold water. Set aside until the soup is almost finished.
  • When the soup has simmered for about 30 minutes, add the green beans, kidney beans, and spinach. Allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Add pasta to the pot and top with fresh parsley.
