I use all these ingredients but do a little twist - I put the onion and garlic straight in, no cheesecloth. Before I add the pasta, I hit the whole thing with an immersion blender until is smooth. Then I add the pasta. My picky oldest daughter finds blended vegetables to be non-offensive ??. It doesn’t change the flavour, just as good (if not better). It’s super hearty and thick this way. -
All I can say is yum! Was looking for something to whip up with ingredients I had at home and found this gem. So simple, but tasty. I like it as is, but my boyfriend loves dunking bread into his. -
Tastes just like the soup my grandmother makes.
