Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Then, add the celery, carrots, and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the carrots are soft. Then, add the garlic, tomato paste, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Next, add the bay leaf, potato, zucchini, canned tomatoes with their juices, broth, and water, and turn the heat up to high. Bring the soup to a boil, then cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and add the beans, pasta and spinach and continue simmering uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Remove from the heat and adjust the salt/pepper as needed, and then add lemon juice (optional). Enjoy!
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*Storage: store soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat: add soup to a pot and heat over the stove; NOTE: you will have to add more broth while reheating as the pasta absorbs some of the broth in the refrigerator.
*To make gluten free: use your favorite gluten free pasta instead (I love using broth rice pasta!)
