Notes
The pasta in this soup tends to soak up the broth so you may need additional broth for reheating.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Freeze cooled soup in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
If using homemade meatballs, follow either our eggless meatball recipe or our turkey meatball recipe.
