In a large nonstick skillet, brown sausage over medium heat, 5-7
minutes, stirring frequently. When it is browned on all sides, set
aside to drain on paper toweling. In a soup pot, cook the onion in the
olive oil over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots
and zucchini and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes,
cabbage, GARLIC, BASIL, PEPPER, BAY LEAVES and PARSLEY and stir to
combine. Add the beef base, water and cooked sausage. Simmer for 30
minutes over medium low heat, then raise heat to high to bring to a
boil. Add the dry pasta and white beans. Cook until the pasta is done,
about 10-12 minutes. Serve, or reduce heat to low and simmer until
ready to eat. Serve each bowl topped with grated Romano or Parmesan
cheese.
