GUIDE
Fill and preheat BioloMix SousVide to 185F/85C.
Place the onion, carrot, celery, minced garlic, and ketchup in a large zip-lock cooking bag (gallon/3.8 quart).
Add water and use the displacement method (Archimedes principle) to remove all the air and close the lid.
Submerge and cook in the water bath until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
Remove from the steamer and pour all contents into a large bowl. Remove and discard the Parmesan peel.
Add beans, orzo, and fresh herbs. Add a generous amount of good olive oil and serve in the heated bowl.
Garnish each serving with Parmesan pieces.
