EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use whatever pasta you have on hand that is similar in shape to the small shell or juniorettes pasta. If you use larger pasta, check the package directions for the cooking time.

When zucchini and yellow summer squash are plentiful, use 1/2 of each for a flavorful soup bursting with color.

Much much better using all broth, using 1/2 water was diluting all of the flavor out.

This was a quick soup to make. I loved the ingredients but it lacked flavor. It needed something but I didn't add anything because I wanted it to be light so I could taste the vegetables freshness as well as the pasta and beans. I had a salad with it and it was satisfying.
