This Creamy Parmesan Ditalini Soup is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for cozy nights or when you’re craving something rich and satisfying. The creamy broth is infused with the savory flavors of Parmesan cheese, while the ditalini pasta adds a lovely texture that complements the smooth soup.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup ditalini pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the thyme and red pepper flakes, then add the broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add the ditalini pasta and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, followed by the Parmesan cheese. Let the soup simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
