Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C or 160C fan-forced.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, garlic, carrots and celery and sauté about 5 minutes, until softened. Add in zucchini, green beans, capsicum and cook for 2 minutes.
Add in vegetable stock, crushed tomatoes, water, parsley, sugar, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow soup to gently boil, uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Add in macaroni then cover and cook 20 minutes longer.
Add cannellini beans, chick peas, and cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, carefully cut the rolls in half horizontally. Scoop out the inside of the rolls with your hands, set aside to make breadcrumbs for another recipe. Place rolls on a baking tray and place in oven for 10 minutes to warm up.
Spoon the soup into each roll and top with the top of the Cape Seed Roll to form a lid, and serve immediately.
