Can’t wait to make this. Question about substituting with water/better than bouillon - 6 cups of water and how much bouillon? Thank you x

I used about 2 tablespoons- but I always recommend starting with what the jar says and adjusting from here.

I am a convert now too to the Better Than Boullion stuff! But I’m still unsure…do I just throw the 6 tsps and 6 cups of cold water right into the soup pot? Or should I separately in another pot/bowl dissolve them together in hot water, before adding to soup?

I am living for these soup recipes. Loved the mushroom soup.

And I am HERE for your rabe energy as well: "If you don’t like broccoli rabe bc it’s too bitter for you, then I am sorry..."

Yes MA'AM! Sorry, not sorry.

I am also here for all of the soup recipes! I’ve already made last week’s mushroom & tofu soup twice and it is the perfect thing for wintry nights. I realize this just may not be possible for this recipe, but any ideas for vegetarian-izing this soup? Thank you!!

Honestly, a lot of flavor here comes from the pork. You could try finely chopped mushrooms as a mimic to the texture/body/meatiness, but you'll need a LOT of mushrooms haha. Otherwise, I'd suggest a Beyond/Impossible sausage.

I am a broccoli rabe and hot Italian sausage freak. I would love this soup. Looks so perfect.

For those of us who are not pork eaters… chicken sausage and extra oil at the start? (And where in Boerum Hill/Park Slope can I find the best chicken sausage, RIP to Fleischers on 5th Ave???)

I would say add another tablespoon or so and yeah-- chicken or turkey would work well here. Paisano's has good chicken sausage!

When do we add the pasta? Just right as we’re serving?

When exactly does the pasta go in? I assume right at the end but unless I'm missing something, it's not in the recipe?

This is so so delicious. I made it post-booster, which really kicked my ass, and it instantly made me feel better. HIGHLY recommend the squeeze of lemon. Added a lovely and surprising dimension to an already superb soup.

radiatori is THE god-tier pasta shape, no question

This is an awesome recipe. Garlic, rapini and pork were made for each other.

Happy to report that this is tasty even without pasta. I included about .5 cup of the Golden Chicken Stock from Dining In. The lemon squeeze is key. I honestly didn’t use any salt or pepper and I didn’t miss it

I used pacific brand low-salt chicken broth for the remainder
