This simple soup uses a bean and pasta mix. If you can't find it, use 1-1/2 cups bowtie pasta along with some dried thyme, marjoram, and basil.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 (14 oz.) cans ready to serve vegetable broth
  • 6 oz. pkg. Florentine Beans with Bow Ties OR 1-1/2 cups bow tie pasta
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/8 tsp. white pepper
  • 6 oz. can crabmeat, drained
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:

Heat vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in package contents of the bean and pasta mix (or just pasta and your own seasonings, if using that), carrot, onion, garlic, undrained tomatoes, and pepper. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes until pasta is tender. Gently stir in crabmeat and heat for another 5 minutes. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese. Serves 4
