Sauté prosciutto until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Add minced garlic, chopped onion, celery, and carrots; cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in zucchini, cabbage, green beans, diced tomatoes with juice, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and potatoes; cook for 5 more minutes.
Add chicken stock, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Add cannellini beans and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Optionally, remove bay leaves and prosciutto.
Serve hot, garnished with pecorino romano cheese, dried parsley, and basil for extra flavor.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, you can omit the prosciutto and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
Feel free to add or substitute any vegetables based on your preference or what's in season.
You can also make this soup in a slow cooker by cooking it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
For a heartier meal, you can add some cooked pasta or rice to the soup before serving.
