Serves/Makes: 6
Ready in: 2-5 hrs

  • 1 cup finely minced celery
  • 1 cup finely minced onion
  • 1 cup finely minced carrot
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup garbanzo beans
  • 1/2 cup kidney beans
  • 1/2 cup whole dried peas
  • 1/2 cup white pea beans
  • 3/4 cup carrots sliced
  • 3/4 cup onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup celery, sliced
  • 3/4 cup bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup rice or barley
  • 1 cup shell macaroni pasta
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • Parmesan cheese

Slowly saute finely minced onion, celery and carrot in butter until very brown. Add peas and beans and about 3 quarts of water. Cook slowly until beans are almost done (check garbanzos - they take longest) about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add the remaining vegetables, rice and spices and more water if necessary and cook another hour. About 20 minutes before serving time add the macaroni and more water if needed. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Pepper to taste.
