Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until well combined, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in 4 cups of chicken stock and 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring continuously until smooth.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Add 1 cup of ditalini pasta and cook for about 5-8 minutes or until al dente.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Mix until the cheese is melted and incorporated.
  6. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the butter while melting; it should be bubbly, not browned. Stir the pasta frequently to prevent sticking. Customize using gluten-free options as needed.
