Choose half-and-half or whole milk for a less rich option. For more creaminess,

mascarpone can be added.

Adding carrots or red peppers can provide additional sweetness and color.

The flavor of the soup intensifies over time, although the noodles may absorb more broth. If

necessary, add additional liquid when warming up.
