Here is how you make Comfortingly Green Soup:

In a 2qt saucepan, heat the oil. Add the pasta and brown gently. add the tomato sauce quickly and stir, then add the chicken broth and zucchini. Heat at a low boil until the pasta is cooked.

Pour your delicious, green slurry back into the soup, sprinkle with oregano and pepper and stir until it all comes together. Serve with warm bread or tortillas, and remember to wait until it's gone to announce that you've just conned your children into eating a pile of veggies.
