Vegetable Soup

Da Vinci

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup white onion, finely chopped

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped celery

1 ½ cups peeled, seeded and chopped plum tomatoes

6 cups of chicken broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup pasta

Lots of fun chopping to get you all revved up for dinner!

In a large stockpot combine olive oil, onions and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Add celery [and tomatoes?] and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Turn off heat and add pasta to stockpot. 

I used tiny shells, which added nice complexity to the thing.

Ladle into soup bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve. 

Pretty, eh?

My Rating: 3/5 "It's a nice soup. There aren't any fireworks to it. The onions are nice, the pasta is nice. It's really just a nice soup and that's all there is to it."
