2 ribs celery with leaves, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced and 1 clove garlic coarsely chopped

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon salt ( I add salt to taste but this is the recommended amount, usually I don't use any)

3 cups organic low sodium vegetable broth

4 cups Swiss chard, chopped

1 cup baby spinach

1/4 cup whole wheat ditalini or small shell pasta

1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley (optional, I have never used it)

1/2 cup sliced zucchini

Here is how you make South Beach Miestrone:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, minced garlic, dried oregano, pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.Add the vegetable broth, Swiss chard, and pasta. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is al dente.Meanwhile, in a cup, combine the chopped garlic with the parsley. Stir into the soup along with the zucchini and baby spinach. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.Then divide the soup equally into four bowls, bon appetite!For a non vegan way you can add Parmesan cheese about 1 tsp. for every bowl. This recipe makes four serving but I usually double it.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TREDGIRL06.
