The hearty dish makes a great dinner and requires just 25 minutes of prep; then, the soup simmers on the stovetop until the vegetables are tender. If you omit the parmesan for serving, this soup is also vegan. Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium carrots, diced small 2 celery stalks, diced small 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon dried thyme Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley Grated Parmesan, for serving Directions In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high.

Add beans, tomatoes, broth, and parsley and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
