    soft.

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion, celery, and

    Cover and cook very gently, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Drain
    the beans and set aside.

    Pour the stock into the tomato mixture and continue to simmer, covered,
    for 15 minutes. Add the leeks, cabbage, rice, and cooked beans and simmer
    for 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning.

    Serve immediately, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
