A delicious and comforting vegetable soup with beans and pasta, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Prepare the vegetables by washing and chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped vegetables, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chicken broth.
Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent sticking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Cover the saucepan partially to retain moisture while allowing steam to escape.
Add the pasta to the saucepan and cook until the pasta is tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
