A comforting and easy-to-make soup packed with vegetables and pasta, perfect for a cozy meal.
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and slicing the carrots, chopping the celery, and dicing the onion.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, carrots, celery, and onion. Bring to a boil.
Use a large pot to ensure all ingredients fit comfortably.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the corn, garlic, and basil. Let it cook for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Separately, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Cooking the pasta separately prevents it from becoming mushy in the soup.
Add the cooked pasta to the soup and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Taste the soup and add salt or pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
