Every now and then I get a pot or a pan and throw in everything I find in the pantry or fridge and see what comes out. It’s a good way to clean out what may have been hanging around a while! This recipe consists of what I found to use at my house. You can add or subtract ingredients if you want or find different things in your fridge or pantry. Be creative!
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can chicken stock

- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt & pepper, to taste

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot
Add green pepper, celery, onion, garlic and sauté until softened
Add chicken stock, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, salt & pepper
While simmering, add the spinach and cover the pot to allow spinach to wilt into the soup
Add the beans, drained or not, however you prefer
Cover and simmer on low heat
While soup simmers put a pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta to al dente. Then drain
Add pasta to soup
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top
