- 5 cups low sodium chicken broth plus additional if needed
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

- 4 ounces uncooked dry gemelli or penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter optional

Notes
Home Chef Tip: The butter stirred in at the end is entirely optional. It adds a few calories, but it also adds a nice richness and mouthfeel to the soup.
