Instructions
Saute onion over medium heat with ½ cup water and the bouillon until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, herbs and another ½ cup water. Saute until the carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes and the rest of the water. Bring to a simmer, about 7-8 minutes.
While the soup is cooking you can cook the pasta.
Add the beans and chard and cook a few minutes until the chard is wilted.
Serve with optional parmesan or other toppings of choice.
Notes
You can change up the veggies in here with anything you have laying around or need to use up. Just keep the total amounts about the same!
Keep the pasta separate and add to bowls when serving to avoid it getting overly mushy.
