Add the vegetable broth, tomatoes with the juice, and Italian seasoning. Once it has come to a boil, add the kidney beans, green beans, and macaroni. Allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente.

Notes

Leftover soup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. The cooked pasta will absorb the broth, so you may need to add a little water before reheating it seems too thick.
