Making a hearty vegetable soup is easy and rewarding. The wine is for those who really travel in style, but it can easily be left out. If you don’t have dried herbs, use fresh herbs and chop them up and add them to the soup at the end, along with the pasta. You can add some shredded cheese for a healthy dinner-in-a-bowl option.
