Bring to a boil, add pasta and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste
Add in spinach just a few minutes before serving and allow it to wilt slightly.
Notes
Add in additional vegetables such as broccoli or kale.
Switch up your pasta and use orzo, ditalini or elbow. Just keep it a fairly small pasta. You could also use tortellini.
Substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs. Use a 1:2 ratio, using twice as much fresh herbs as dried herbs.
To add a little heat to the soup, sprinkle with some red pepper flakes.
