Tinkyada Pasta

[LuvMoosic4life]

I was wondering if anyone has used tinkyada pasta for soup? I know when boiling the pasta the water becomes thick and starchy so it would be best to cook the pasta and then add it to the soup, but has anyone ever tried making a thincker soup by boiling the pasta right in it? I wanted to experiement with this. I have made just plain chicken broth with the pasta before is tastes good, so i thought maybe making a thicker soup or stew this way would taste good also.....

I've never done this with Tinkyada, but I have used Mrs. Leepers pasta in soups (cooked it in the broth) with excellent results. It doesn't seem to be quite as starchy as Tinkyada and holds up well done this way.

I make my own chicken noodle soup this way with Tinkyada pasta, and I really like how it comes out.

It really depends on what result you want. I prefer my pasta to be aldente and not have the starch in the soup, plus I don't want mushy pasta in it when I re-heat the leftovers the next day. So I cook the pasta separately and put some in the bowl, them ladle the soup over top. I save the extra pasta in a separate container and serve it the same way the next day.

I have tried it- not so great....although I love their pasta for everything else. I switched to the Thai Kitchen rice noodles in soup. They seem to do a bit better and they are ok if I freeze the soup and the thaw it.
