In a soup pot mix all the ingredients except pasta. Simmer for 1/2 hour or more. Take off heat and add pasta. Serve when pasta is tender. Serve with bread and a salad. Notes: I tend to make this soup in the morning, let it sit and cool all day and reheat at dinner time adding the pasta at the reheat stage. This allows the flavors to blend a little more.
