1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free pasta to make this soup gluten-free.

For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine when sautéing the onion and garlic.
Substitute fresh tomatoes for canned diced tomatoes in season.
To make it spicier, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Note that the pasta may absorb some liquid when stored; add a splash of broth or water when reheating to restore creaminess.
