Can you make it ahead?

You can make this soup ahead of time. All you need to do is to make the soup until the moment when you add the pasta. Right before serving, bring the whole soup to a boil, add your pasta, and cook for 10 minutes more. The soup is ready. 

Storage instructions

Store this soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze it too, but it’s best consumed freshly prepared. 

Variations and substitutes

You can add ground turkey if you prefer a much healthier variation or chopped bacon if you want to make it comfort food.
