Add to the soup and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and serve with grated cheese, parsley and croutons on top.

* Savoy cabbage will produce a milder taste than regular cabbage.

The longer the pasta is in the soup the more liquid it will soak up and the thicker, and less brothy, it will be.
