Combine soup mix, Bouquet Garni, vegetable broth and tomatoes in a 6 to 8 quart saucepot. Simmer, covered, until pasta and vegetables are tender. Stir in cannelloni beans and wine, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue simmering for 15 minutes. Remove Bouquet Garni.
If there is not enough liquid in soup, add additional vegetable broth or water.
If you want to grow your own tomatoes, you can easily make sun dried ones and store them in oil. Growing a few tomato plants would definitely make this recipe cost less and taste great!
