ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups savoy cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 cups cooked kidney beans (see recipe description, include liquid from canned beans) or 28 ounces canned low-sodium kidney beans (see recipe description, include liquid from canned beans)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup small shell pasta
- 1⁄4 cup short-grain rice or 1/4 cup arborio rice
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons coarse salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 lb fresh green beans, trimmed ends and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

directions
- In a 4-quart pot, combine the water with the cabbage, beans, and olive oil. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and with an occasional stir, simmer the soup for 40 minutes until the beans are easily mashed with a fork.
- Using the back of a long-handled fork or spoon, mash some of the beans against the inside of the pot. (You can also remove about ½ cup to a dish and mash them then scoop them back into the pot.).
- Return the soup to a boil and add the pasta, rice and salt. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer, covered for 15 minutes then toss in the carrots, green beans and pepper.
- Simmer 10 more minutes until the vegetables are tender to your taste.
- Serve with some crusty bread.

We really enjoyed this hearty soup. I used canned beans (1 can dark red kidney beans and 1 can light red kidney beans) and 1 teaspoon of salt. I had to substitute ditalini for the small shell pasta, but it's also a small size. While I wouldn't call this soup "quick" (1-3/4 hours), I would call it very tasty! It also came out quick thick and was very filling. Made for ZWT8.
