Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of pasta in this recipe?

Yes, you can use different pasta shapes based on your preference. While the recipe suggests ditalini, feel free to choose another small pasta like penne or elbow macaroni.

How long should I simmer the soup for the best flavor?

The simmering time is flexible, and you can adjust it based on your preference. Simmering for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld, but you can simmer longer for a richer taste.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, you can make a vegetarian version by substituting vegetable stock for beef stock. Additionally, omitting the Worcestershire sauce or using a vegetarian alternative will make the dish entirely vegetarian.

What can I use as a substitute for fresh thyme?

If fresh thyme is not available, you can use dried thyme. However, use approximately half the amount of dried thyme, as dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh.

Can I prepare the croutons ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the croutons in advance. Store them in an airtight container once cooled. When ready to serve, you can reheat them in the oven or briefly under the broiler for a crispy texture.
