              Notes

              This soup stores beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, you might need to add a splash of broth or water to bring it back to your desired consistency. You can also freeze this soup for up to 3 months but recommend leaving the pasta out if you plan to freeze it, adding fresh pasta when reheating the base.
