Beef And Pasta Confetti Soup

---

I was in the mood to make up a soup this cold winter evening and this is what i came up with. We have found we really like the shell pasta the best. I've also started cooking my noodles and veggies together. I cook the noodles for about 5 minutes, add the frozen vegetables and bring to a boil again. I then cook them for another 7 minutes and drain.
