- Add the celery, carrots, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, beef broth and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for 15-18 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- While soup is simmering, boil the ditalini pasta in a separate pot according to package directions.

Notes
- If you'd prefer to boil the pasta in the soup, you'll need to add an additional 3 cups of broth. Add the pasta and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through, then stir in the beans.
- Pasta absorbs a lot of broth which is why I prefer to boil it separately then add it at the end, the pasta maintains a better texture that way.
