In a large soup pot, combine all ingredients, except pasta. Bring to a boil

over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Use a spoon to break up large clumps

of frozen vegetables and also to cut up the tomatoes.

 

Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 45 minutes, or until vegetables are

tender.

 

Add pasta, cover and cook 10 to 15 more minutes, until pasta is tender. Remove

and discard bay leaf before serving.

Thank you so much. Those look great--and vegan, which I forgot to specify!

 

I also want to say that last night I tried the Tofu Triangles with Spicy Onion

Sauce posted by Karen S. in May, and it was delicious. I don't know if the rest

of you are like me, but I save a lot of recipes, most of which I never get

around to using. It helps to hear from people when they find one they like.

 

Thanks again!
