This soup is Tuscan simplicity at its best. Great quality olive oil, tomatoes and beans along with some local vegetables. A heaping spoonful of grated cheese is all you will need to round out this satisfying soup!
Place the bean mix in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft.
Add the celery, carrot and sage and cook a further minute.
Stir in the tomatoes, water, soaked bean mix, and Jill’s Table Tuscan spice. Bring to a simmer and cook until beans are just tender (about 20-30 minutes). Add the green beans and cook until tender (about 5 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with a heaping spoonful of Parmesan cheese.
*Note: 2 cups of cooked sliced Italian sausage, or diced turkey can be added in step 4. Heat for a further 5 minutes.
Other vegetable options include: broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini
