Rainy Days = SOUP!

Today has been wet, gray & rainy. There is nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day! Today I decided to finally make some tomato macaroni soup. I found the recipe a while ago, but it has been just too hot for soup! Today was perfect soup weather, and it came together very fast! It also made my house smell so yummy!!

1 tsp oil
1 tsp butter
2 onions, chopped
2 celery, chopped
1/2 cup celery leaves (didn't have this, used a 3rd piece of celery)
2 carrots, chopped
8 cups beef (or your choice) broth
28oz can diced tomatoes
2 tsp onion soup mix
1/2 tsp Worcestershire
1/2 cup uncooked macaroni
Salt & pepper to taste

Heat oil and butter. Add onions, celery/leaves and carrots, saute until soft. Add broth, tomoatoes, soup mix and Worcestershire. Simmer for 45 minutes; add macaroni. Cook on low until pasta is cooked, about 30 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
