01
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until it’s tender but still has a little bite, about 11 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat some oil in a big saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the orange and red bell peppers, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the veggies start to soften, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3
Next, pour in the tomato soup along with half a can of water. Add the potatoes, chicken broth, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give it all a good stir to mix everything well.
