For a richer flavor, add a splash of red wine while browning the meat. To prevent mushy noodles, cook them separately and add them to the soup just before serving if planning to make ahead or store leftovers. If the ricotta cheese is too watery, drain it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer for about 30 minutes before using. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. You may need to add extra broth when reheating. Customize with diced carrots, celery, or zucchini for added vegetables. For a spicier kick, use spicy Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup while simmering. Serve with crusty bread for dipping or a simple side salad for a refreshing contrast.
