Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 78 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Pasta

  • 1 pound ditalini pasta

Cheese & Seasoning

  • 4 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter and Garlic: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the finely minced or grated garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to release the flavors without burning the garlic.
  2. Add Flour: Sprinkle in the flour while stirring constantly for 1 minute. This helps create a roux that will thicken the soup base.
  3. Add Liquids and Pasta: Pour in 7 cups of chicken stock (add an extra cup if needed during cooking), heavy cream, and add the ditalini pasta. Season with a couple large pinches of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to start building the soup’s flavor.
  4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low. Let the soup gently simmer for 5-8 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Incorporate Parmesan and Vinegar: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese and white wine vinegar until the cheese has fully melted, enriching the soup with a creamy, tangy depth.
  6. Adjust Seasoning and Garnish: Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired before serving.
  7. Enjoy and Review: Serve hot and enjoy this comforting creamy garlic Parmesan soup. If you loved it, don’t forget to leave a 5-star rating and review!

Notes

  • Use grated Parmesan cheese for best melting and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of chicken stock depending on your preferred soup consistency.
  • Adding white wine vinegar enhances the soup’s brightness but can be omitted if preferred.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth.
