  • 8 ounces petite diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta*

  2. Dump everything else EXCEPT salt and pasta.

  7. Bring soup back to rolling boil, add pasta.

*can use 8 ounces broken spaghetti in place of ditalini pasta

Soup will soak up and get thicker as is cools.

To Reheat: Add water and heat to make a creamier soup, or heat "as is" and eat.
