An easy way to half-cook the beans for this recipe is to put ½ cup (dried) of each in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary. You can use any stock for this, though beef stock is traditional.
1. Bring stock and wine to a boil in a large soup pot. Add onion, leek, garlic, carrots, potatoes, green pepper, navy beans, garbanzos, peas, lima beans, lentils, seasonings and lemon juice. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are very soft but still holding their shape.
2. Add macaroni and cook for five minutes.
3. Add green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, and puree and cook for another 10 minutes or until macaroni is tender. To serve, sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan cheeses.
