Notes

For a creamier soup, you can add a splash of heavy cream or milk just before serving. If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the broth by one cup or use a thicker pasta. Adjust seasoning to taste, and feel free to add more vegetables or substitute with other seasonal ones. This soup pairs well with crusty bread for dipping.
