Ingredients

1 lb. Italian sausage
1 medium onion chopped
2 carrots peeled and chopped
1 rib celery chopped
1 zucchini quartered and diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup uncooked elbow noodles
Fresh thyme leaves
Red pepper flakes
Parmesan Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Brown the Italian sausage in a Dutch Oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat. When the sausage is about halfway browned, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring several times.
Add the zucchini and cook until the onions and celery are soft. Then reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and Italian Seasoning, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the chicken broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and cannellini beans. Bring the soup to a low boil. Stir in the elbow macaroni. Reduce the heat to a simmer or very low boil and cook the soup until the pasta is tender.
Garnish with fresh thyme, red pepper flakes, and a sprinkling of shredded Parmesan Cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
