Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large plum tomatoes, quartered
4 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered
1 large onion, sliced
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 carrot, peeled, slice
1 garlic clove, chopped
6 cups (or more) canned vegetable broth
3 large fresh Italian parsley sprigs
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup small elbow macaroni
2 cups shelled cooked edamame beans (from about 26 ounces of pods)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until remaining vegetables in pot are very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Bring soup to boil, thinning with more vegetable broth if necessary. Add pasta; reduce heat to medium and cook until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Add edamame; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Ladle soup into bowls; top with cheese.
