To prepare, simply open the can and pour the contents into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thoroughly heated through. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture of the vegetables and pasta. For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread for dipping.
