- 1 (28-oz) can Italian style chopped tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15.5-oz) can dark red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 cups mixed vegetables (frozen): broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
- 1 large zucchini, cut in quarters lengthwise, and then chunked

- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic with parsley
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
In large saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients except Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer 20 - 25 minutes (I actually let it simmer 1 hour and it was perfect). Top each serving the the parmesan cheese (1 tablespoon or more depending on preference)
