Notes
- Do not add the pasta until the end of the cooking time, this will ensure it doesn't become overcooked.
- If you want to make this soup ahead of time, cook the soup without the pasta and add it in when reheating.
- The time it takes to fully cook the potatoes will depend on their size. Cut them into small pieces to speed up the cooking time.
- If you want a thinner soup, add more broth or water. For a thicker soup, simmer for a longer period of time to allow the soup to reduce.
