1.

Add the garlic and cook an additional minute or two until fragrant. Add 4 cups of broth, the chopped cabbage, potatoes, pumpkin, and parsley, and cook over low heat for about 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Take 1/3 of the beans and puree them with three tablespoons of the olive oil and stir this into the soup. Add the remaining whole beans and continue to cook over low heat for an additional 15 minutes, adding additional broth if the soup seems too thick. Drizzle a little olive oil over each bread slice and then place it on the bottom of each bowl. Spoon the soup on top of the bread, and the drizzle each bowl with additional olive oil. Serve warm.
