Delicious Minestrone Soup

This soup is so easy to make and I am sure you already have all the ingredients on hand.  Top this off with a bit of cheddar or parmesan cheese and it is absolutely delicious.

1 teaspoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
4 cups  chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano already added in
3/4 cup of diced baby carrots
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
some fresh spinach

In a pot saute onion with olive oil until onion is tender.  Add all remaining ingredients (except spinach) and cook until macaroni and vegetables are tender.  Add spinach and cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.  Enjoy
