Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add in the onions and cook until fragrant.
- Add in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, mix well for 5 seconds, and quickly add the diced tomatoes.
- Add the water, bouillon cubes, and mixed vegetables. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the pasta, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover with the lid, and allow it to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, mix, taste, and check to see if the pasta is done. If it is still slightly raw, cover the pot with the lid and allow it to sit for a few more minutes.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
Using low-sodium vegetable bouillon cubes enhances the flavor profile of the soup without overwhelming the natural taste of the fresh ingredients. This balances the dish perfectly, allowing the subtle sweetness of the diced tomatoes and the earthy notes of the mixed vegetables to shine through.
