Turkey Pasta Soup

By japaulson

To ensure that the pasta cooks properly, make sure the soup is boiling when you add the ditali and that it comes back to a boil for the rest of cooking.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 4 (14-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
