Blend the soup using a stick blender until smooth.

Add the dry pasta directly to the soup and simmer slowly for about 15–⏱️ 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta cooks and begins absorbing some of the soup, slightly thickening the texture.
10
Once the pasta is cooked, add ¾ of the cheddar and mozzarella and stir until fully melted and combined.
11
Transfer the pasta mixture to an oven-safe dish and top with the remaining cheese.
12
Bake at 430°F / 220°C for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, just until the cheese melts and develops a light golden colour.

Serve topped with fresh basil.
