Notes
Tips
For a creamier version, stir in a spoonful of ricotta just before serving.
Swap noodles for rotini or mini shells if you prefer smaller bites.
Leftovers thicken as they sit, add a splash of broth when reheating.
How to Store and Reheat
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- The noodles will absorb liquid as the soup rests. Stir in broth while reheating to loosen.
- Reheat on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
- Freeze the soup without noodles for up to 2 months. Add freshly cooked noodles when serving.
