- Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
Adding vegetables such as carrots or celery can enhance the flavor and nutrition of the soup.
To freeze, omit the pasta and add it when reheating to avoid mushiness.
