Directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Stir in bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
Stir in broth, oregano and thyme, bring to a boil over high heat.
Stir in pasta and cook for 2 or 3 minutes less than the package directions.
Stir in mixed vegetables and lima beans.
Bring to a boil again over medium-high heat, cook until the vegetables are almost tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, pepperoni and chard or kale, bring back to a boil.
Adjust the heat and simmer until the chard or kale is just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
Season with pepper and top with parmesan.
