In a Dutch oven or large soup pot brought up to medium-high heat, brown the meat with the garlic, onions and celery. Drain fat.  Add beef stock, tomatoes, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add pasta, carrots, green and red bell peppers. Boil for 1-2 minutes.

For each serving, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some cilantro leaves.
