Notes

Recipe Tips.

Cook the pasta separately to keep it from soaking up too much broth while storing leftovers.
Use spicy Italian sausage if you want extra heat and flavor.
Fresh basil adds the best flavor and makes the soup taste extra homemade.
Serve with garlic bread or breadsticks for an easy restaurant-style dinner.

Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. Be aware that pasta will continue to absorb the liquid in the soup and may take on a different texture.

Freeze. Freeze the base of this soup for later. Do not freeze with the cheese mixture or pasta. Freeze the cheese and pasta in their own containers, or prepare them the night before.
