Number Of Ingredients 25

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
½ cup elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup butter
1 large carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small zucchini, diced
1 (28 ounce) can diced San Marzano tomatoes with juice
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15.5 ounce) can three bean salad, drained and rinsed

6 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Combine Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, celery seed, parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf in a small bowl.
