This is a perfect soup to chase away those midwinter blahs. It is very quick and easy to put together. It is one of my favorite soups and the original recipe comes from 365 Ways to Cook Pasta by Marie Simmons. If you can't find acini di pepe pasta, you can use any solid tiny pasta shape.

  1. 1

    Heat the cream in a small saucepan until simmering; gradually whisk into the tomato mixture; DO NOT BOIL.
