| | | In a large saucepan over low heat, cook onion, celery, carrot and garlic in olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, chicken broth, tomatoes, cabbage, red pepper, zucchini and thyme. Cook, uncovered, until vegetables are tender and flavors are blended, about 20 minutes. To serve, place croutons in each soup bowl and ladle soup into the bowl. Sprinkle with the cheese. A special thanks to a FamilyCorner.com community member for this recipe. Thanks "kathymac"!
