Step-by-Step Method
Start the broth
Pour the water into a large pot. Stir in the tomato sauce and drop in the bouillon cubes.
Season the pot
Add oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Simmer the vegetables
Add celery, carrots, and garlic. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables soften, about 20–25 minutes.
Cook the pasta in the soup
Stir in the elbow macaroni. Cook until tender, 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
Finish and serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan right before serving.
