Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables will enhance the flavor of your soup. Try to use fresh garlic, celery, and onion for the best taste.
• Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Cook the linguine just until it’s al dente. Overcooking can make the pasta mushy, which affects the soup’s texture.
• Adjust Seasoning: After adding the lemon juice and butter, taste the soup. You may need more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to get the perfect balance.
• Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or peas. They can add more color, flavor, and nutrients to your soup.
• Serve Immediately: This soup is best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve it right after cooking to keep the pasta firm and the soup warm.
