Set heat to medium and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally.

Keep an eye on the thickness- if you prefer a more “soupy” soup, add a bit of water or additional beef stock. Cooking the pasta absorbs much of the liquid.

The pasta cooks in about 10 minutes but monitor this to make sure you don’t overcook it.

Reduce heat to warm and stir to combine fully.

At this point you can choose to season with a bit of coarse salt and fresh black pepper.

This is a simple weeknight soup that requires few ingredients and many you may already have on hand!
