Coarse black pepper (optional)

Methods:

1. Heat the olive oil in the pot.

2. Fry the onions for a minute till fragrance.

3. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery and tomatoes and fry together with the onions for another minute.

4. Pour in the chicken soup.

5. After the soup starts to boil, turn down the heat. Put in the tomato puree and simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Add in the macaroni and cook for another 10~15 minutes.
