Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until bubbly but not browned. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour while stirring constantly for about 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t clump.
  3. Slowly pour in 4 cups of chicken stock, stirring well to combine and prevent lumps. Add in 1 cup of heavy cream and mix until combined.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, add 1 cup of ditalini pasta. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
