Pasta Soup is something I do regularly for our weekend dinners. After the “roaming around Saturdays” that involve delicious snacking of stuffed buns from the abundant little bakeries of Hong Kong, Portuguese style egg tarts and boba tea in the evening, we usually settle down for a light dinner. After putting my son to sleep, we have our time binge watching in Netflix. I love my Saturdays. There is no alarm to be set for the morning and the nights are long. This soup is just so hearty and comforting after a tiring day. This is an easy soup that can be put together in less than 15 minutes.
This recipe for this fully loaded pasta soup is a vegetarian classic that makes for a comforting warm dinner. I have used a veggie stock cube to flavor the soup. Alternatively, you can use vegetable stock or chicken stock to flavour the soup. I have used macaroni pasta for the soup today.
Take a pressure pan and add in 2.5 cups of water. Add in one stock cube, Italian seasoning, black pepper and salt and bring it to a roaring boil. Let the stock cube fully melt.
Add in the veggies and the macaroni pasta.
Cook the pasta for 2 whistles in the pressure cooker. It will take about 5 minutes. ( If doing it on a pan, cook for 20 minutes with the pan covered with a lid.)
Wait for the pressure to settle down. Open the cooker and add in the butter and stir well. Let the butter melt completely.
Serve in soup bowls with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
