Servings: persons

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Large Onion, Diced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/2 Large Carrot, Sliced
1/2 cups Cut-up Green Beans
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
Sea Salt And Ground Black Pepper To Taste
2 cups Canned Stewed Tomatoes
3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
3 cups Tomato Juice
1 cup Canned Or Cooked Kidney Beans, Drained And Rinsed
1 cup Small Pasta Shells

1
Start by heating the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion. Saute until the onions are translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic. Saute for 30 seconds, stirring regularly. Don't brown the garlic, as that will leave you with a bitter taste (literally, and probably figuratively, too).
2
Add the sliced carrots. Saute until they begin to soften up. This too should only take 5 minutes. Stir in the green beans, Italian seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and some ground black pepper. Cook for approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add the stewed tomatoes, chicken broth and tomato juice. Bring to a rolling boil then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the kidney beans. Then, add the pasta.
4
Stir well and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked (refer to pasta package instructions but this should be approximately 10 minutes).
5
Enjoy on its own or with a sandwich!
