- Bring to a boil, then let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Notes
Soup Consistency: This is a very brothy soup. If you would prefer a thicker consistency, you can reduce the amount of broth you use. You will want to use at least 3 cups of broth.
Storage: This recipe makes great leftovers if you add the pasta and cheese to each individual serving. The broth can last up to 3 days in the fridge, or 3 months in the freezer as long as you use an airtight container to store it.
