3 strips Bacon (or More If You Love Bacon)
1/2 cups Chopped Celery
1 cup Chopped Onion
2 whole Cloves (not Bulbs) Of Garlic, Chopped
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1 can (14 Oz. Size) Beef Broth

1
In a large Dutch oven brown the bacon with celery, onion, garlic and basil. Cook until bacon is browned and veggies are tender.
2
Stir in soups, water, tomatoes, pasta and salt. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
3
Add cabbage and zucchini and cook for another 15 minutes or so until cooked, stirring occasionally (take a taste to check on this.)

This is a very versatile recipe. Add more or less veggies as you wish. Fresh basil can be substituted, also. A small pasta such as shells or macaroni will also work if ditalini is unavailable.

This recipe was given to me by my sister in law and I'm told my brother in law likes this with hotdogs added to it! You know how boys are about their meat! I have never tried this, however.
