Preparation:
Heat oil over medium heat in a very large saucepan. Add onion and cook, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrot, celery, cabbage, zucchini and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, potatoes, chicken stock, and beans. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium and simmer for 45 minutes.
Take off heat and stir in cheese until well blended with soup. Add cooked pasta and stir. Cover and let sit at least 5 minutes before serving so pasta absorbs some of the soup.
Serve with a crispy Italian bread.
Serves 8-10
