Servings: persons

2 -3 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bunch green onion, trimmed (scallions)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans white beans (I use either Northern or cannellini)
4 cups chicken broth (32 oz. box) or 4 cups vegetable broth (32 oz. box)
fresh basil (can use dried)
4 ounces small shell pasta (or substitute elbows or ditalini)
grated parmesan cheese
ground pepper

1
Process the garlic & the trimmed green onions (white part only) in a Cuisinart.
2
Cook this mixture about two or three minutes in olive oil on medium heat in a dutch oven or large saucepan.
3
Run the tomatoes (don't drain) through the processor slightly & add to the pan, stirring until the mixture is softened.
4
Puree the drained & rinsed beans in the Cuisinart & stir them into the ingredients already cooking.
5
Add the broth & blend very well.
6
Simmer on low for 20 minutes.
7
I add the 1/2 cup of uncooked pasta & cook for another 10 minutes at this point, so I don't have to use another pot.
8
Towards the very end of the 30 minutes, add the basil and freshly ground pepper to taste.
9
Top w/the grated cheese after ladling the soup into serving bowls.
10
Note: use vegetable broth in case you want to do a totally vegetarian soup.
11
However, I usually prepare it with chicken broth.
12
Try it both ways & see which you prefer!
