Vegetable Noodle Soup

A rainy day calls for a nice, filling soup. Even in the summer, I like soup - provided I'm indoors with some nice air conditioning!

Vegetable Noodle Soup

One package vegan ground beef (I used Gardein for this)
One onion, diced
3 stalks of celery, diced
3 carrots, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
One can diced tomatoes
One can tomato sauce
One can kidney beans
2 c. vegetable broth (or more if needed)
1 T. parsley
1 t. salt
1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. basil
1/2 t. black pepper
2 c. shredded cabbage
One package frozen green beans
Pasta - your choice

Add all the ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or more, until all vegetables are soft. Serve. Enjoy!

My youngest thought this was too thick to be called soup, and it was a pretty thick soup. I think next time I'll leave out the pasta.
