Step 1

Heat olive oil on medium heat in a 3" deep pan; pour in dry shells and mix in oil to brown

Step 2

Pour in tomato sauce; mix to cover shells in sauce

Step 3

Pour in chicken broth with spices

Step 4

Stir to unstick shells from the pan; bring to a boil and then simmer for 10-15 minutes or until shells are done. Uncover to allow broth to evaporate a little, as it condenses the flavor.

Step 5

Stir shells, consistency should be slightly soupy. Allow to evaporate more for less soup. Turn off heat.

Step 6

Top with cheddar cheese as desired or over top of the pan. Enjoy!
