In a big pot or deep pan, warm the olive oil and put in the celery and onions.
Cook until the onions are see-through.
Put the spices in and cook for 5 minutes.
Put the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and tomatoes in the pot and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Put the pasta in and cook for 15 minutes or until it is firm to the bite.
Put the can of beans with its liquid, mix well, and warm up.
Add grated parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Can be enjoyed with breadsticks or a crunchy piece of bread.
You can also cook the pasta separately and add it to the bowl before pouring the soup. This will help keep the pasta from getting too soft when you save some for later.
