1/3 cup onions, chopped
1/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 tsp. garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1-1/4 tsp. olive oil
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth

3/4 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 cup small shell pasta

Recipe



Sauté onion, pepper, garlic, and red pepper in oil in large saucepan until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in beef broth, water, beans, tomatoes, Italian vegetables, and basil; heat to boiling. Add pasta and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables and pasta are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir spinach into soup; simmer 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, add a teaspoon of prepared pesto sauce into each bowl of soup.
