Brown meat in oil (coat meat lightly with flour and 1 teaspoon salt before browning to reduce simmering time by 1 hour). Cover with water, bring to a boil; reduce heat. Add celery, onion, bay leaves, thyme, basil and bouillon. Let simmer 2 hours. Remove bay leaves.

Stir in tomatoes. Cook pasta, drain and add to soup. Add vegetables and zucchini. Heat through. Add flour and water mixture; stir until it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
