For a vegetarian option, omit the beef and use vegetable broth. You may also want to add other vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, or kale. Feel free to adjust the amount of pasta to your liking. For a thicker soup, use more pasta. For extra flavor, consider adding a Parmesan rind to the soup while it cooks. Remove it before serving.
