Once the hamburger browns put onions and garlic into the pot and turn your heat down to a medium-high for about 3-4 minutes until onions become a translucent. Add green pepper, jalapeno, celery and stir for another 3-4 minutes. Finally add the tomato sauce, fire roasted tomatoes diced, kidney bean, water and the rind of parmesan cheese. Turn heat to medium-low to low and allow soup to simmer for at least 1 ½ - 2 hours (the longer the better). Right before serving take out the cheese rind and put fresh basil in the soup and stir.
