Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 ounces elbow macaroni
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups drained canned peas
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute more.
2 Stir in broth, beans, tomatoes, pasta, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered until pasta is tender, about 20 minutes. Add peas and vinegar. Cook, uncovered, until peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve soup topped with cheese.
