Easy and fast enough to make it in the morning and serve it for dinner. It's a nice way to start a meal or have it for lunch. Nothing warms you up on a cold day like a hot soup.

Ingredients:                                                            
1 large uncooked, onion(s), finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp table salt, divided
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp unsalted butter
6 cup(s) reduced-sodium, chicken broth
1 cup(s) uncooked string beans
1 cup(s) uncooked carrot(s)
1 cup(s) cooked frozen corn kernels
2 cup(s) uncooked rigatoni
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried sage
2 tsp Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend, Original Blend

Instructions:

Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add broth and increase heat to high; bring to a boil. Stir in pasta, frozen vegetables cook until pasta is done, about 7 minutes. Stir in spices and lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and cook 1 more minute to heat through.
