Notes

Storage: 
This soup is great the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat and simmer until hot.
You can freeze leftovers, too. Store soup in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it again, thaw in the fridge overnight, then simmer on the stove until hot.
This is a great make-ahead dish. Cook the soup without the pasta, then cool and store in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to enjoy. Add the pasta and cook until al dente once you're ready to serve.
