For cold winter’s nights, soups are just the best!!! I originally saw this recipe on pinterest and being a soup lover, I took one look at the photo and thought I GOTTA make that! It has a rich tomato flavour, pasta noodles and of course the sublime cheese and meaty flavour. I simplified the recipe to what you see below and most of the ingredients are basic stock items.
Remember you can always tweak this recipe and add more noodles or more tomato or less liquid or more cheese…you get the idea!
