Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine chicken broth, chopped tomato, uncooked macaroni shells, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, dried basil, and Worcestershire sauce in a 2-quart saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the macaroni shells are tender and have absorbed some of the broth.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot in bowls.
