Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) ready-to-serve chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 to 16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup uncooked small pasta shells (2 ounces)
