Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite, about 11 minutes. Once done, drain and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, heat some oil in a big saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the orange and red bell peppers, celery, carrots, and garlic, and cook everything together until the veggies start to soften, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, pour in the tomato soup along with half a can of water. Stir in the potatoes, chicken broth, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about an hour so all the flavors can meld. When you’re ready to eat, ladle the soup over the cooked pasta and enjoy!
