Classic Italian Soup
with noodles / celery / carrots

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
This classic recipe from our archives is simple and comforting.
Smarts: To easily infuse the soup with extra flavor, stir salsa in at the end. Any salsa will work, but we love the way a salsa with roasted aromatics adds smoky notes.
