Ingredients

2 Tbs. olive oil
1 leek, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
4 celery stalks, chopped
1-2 carrots, chopped
2 qt. chicken stock
2 Tbs. tomato paste
1 head fresh broccoli, cut into florets
3 large potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 C. ditalini pasta
1 can whole corn kernels, drained
1 can cannellini beans
1 C. cooked chicken, shredded
Shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

Heat olive oil in stock pot. Saute leek, onion, salt, pepper and cumin over medium heat for 20 minutes or until translucent. Add celery and carrot and saute 10 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and add tomato paste and broccoli.

In a separate pot, cook potatoes. In another pot, cook pasta a few minutes short of the cooking instructions on the box - it will finish cooking in the soup.

When potatoes and pasta are ready, add into soup. Also add corn, chicken and beans. Cook altogether 10-15 minutes until heated through completely.

Serve with grated or shaved Parmesan over the top.
