You can really play with the spices adding more or less to taste. The red pepper controls the hot bite, so be cautious. Also, add more or less pasta shells to taste remembering the more you add, the thicker your soup will be-and a bit longer cooking time. If you want to go fancy, leave out the water and sauté onions, celery and garlic in olive oil, it adds more fat but doesn\'t really change the taste.
