Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
6 cups beef broth
2 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 leeks, chopped
2 cups cabbage, chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can kidney beans
3/4 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked

Directions:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; sauté garlic, onion and celery until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except beans, macaroni and garnish. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in undrained beans and uncooked macaroni. Simmer, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is tender.
