I came across this recipe and just needed to try it. I love pasta. I love beans. And together, yum. This is a great winter day soup. We just got dumped on with snow. This is the kind of day I love. Nowhere to go, all cozy in my house with some blankets, a great book, and some soup. Couldn’t be better. Oh, wait. And my Diet Coke. There you go. Perfect.
2 cans (14.5 oz. each) beef broth
1 can (16 oz.) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise & sliced
1 Tbsp. oil
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 c. small pasta shells, uncooked
1/2 c. Romano or shredded Parmesan cheese
Combine all but the pasta and cheese in a slow cooker. Cover, cook on low 3-4 hours. Stir in pasta. Cover, cook another hour or until pasta is tender. Serve with cheese on top. You could also do this on the stove. Cook the pasta. Meanwhile combine the rest except the cheese in a large pot. Once pasta is done, add to the pot. Serve with cheese on top.
Note: I didn’t have zucchini and made this anyway. Still yummy.

Mmmm Mandy this sounds great! Perfect comfort food for a snowy day. : ) Your pictures are always so great! What kind of camera do you use if you don't mind me asking. Im really wanting to buy a better quality camera than the one I have
Holly, don't laugh, but it's just a little Panasonic digital camera. It has a food mode on it that I use. It's different than the macro mode (up close) and I love it! I do want to get a big professional digital camera one day, but this works great for now.
Wow! That is so cool! Your pics look like you use a very high quality cam! : )
Mandy, I tried this recipe last night. I guess I'm a dork that didn't know what kind of beans Great Northern ones were but I used black beans instead and it turned out way yummy! The black beans did make the entire soup turn dark colored but it was still yummy. Thanks for a filling soup recipe! I like your photo's too!
