Notes
Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Cooking it al dente ensures your pasta won’t become mushy once it sits in the soup.
Flavor Boost: For an extra depth of flavor, add a splash of red wine after browning the meat and let it simmer for a minute before adding the broth.
Prep Ahead: To save time, prep your vegetables a day ahead so you can throw everything together quickly.
Storage: Let the soup cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just remember to leave out the pasta when freezing; it’s best added fresh when reheating.
Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a little extra broth to loosen it up if needed. Stir occasionally until heated through.
