Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5-8 minutes, until the onion starts to turn golden.
Step 2
Add the crushed tomatoes, and after a minute, add the diced potatoes, cabbage, and beans. Pour in water (about 1.5 liters) and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Once it reaches a boil, add the green beans and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the minced garlic and basil.
Step 4
Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil for garnish.
