Ingredients

1 ½ tablespoons - olive oil
3 cloves - garlic
1 - yellow onion
2 teaspoons - Italian seasoning
¾ tsp - fine sea salt
1 tsp - fresh thyme
8 cups - vegetable broth
1 lb - frozen mixed vegetables
2 stick - celery*
1 - bay leaf
15 ounces - canned diced tomatoes
8 ounces - tomato sauce
1 cup - alphabet pasta

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the garlic, onion, italian seasoning, sea salt, and thyme. Cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Turn the heat to high and add in the broth, frozen vegetables, celery, bay leaf, diced tomatoes in their juices, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, lower heat to a gentle simmer and add in the pasta. Cook until the pasta is tender (check the box of the pasta you’re using for reference), about 20 minutes. Check pasta for doneness (cook to your liking) and when the pasta is done, remove the bay leaf.
Serve immediately and ENJOY! I like to serve mine with fresh herbs and little bit of cheese (non diary works great as well or you can obviously leave the cheese off all-together).
the celery is not at all necessary, but I just really love it in my soup and most frozen veggie mixes don’t include celery so I like to add it.
