You Will Need:
- 1 Medium Onion
- 5 Carrots

Directions:
- On medium high heat, sauté the finely chopped carrots, onions, and celery for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes or so.
- Add salt, paprika, and bay leaves. Cook for 3 -5 minutes then add bay leaves, diced tomatoes, veggie bouillon cube, water, and beans.
- Raise the heat to high to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low once it’s boiling and over with a lid. Let the soup simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours. Checking every 20-30 minutes to stir.
- In a separate pot, boil pasta noodles until al dente (2-3 minutes less than what the package recommends) The pasta should be cooked but still have a chewy texture.
