    Once bacon is golden, remove from pan to a paper towel covered plate and set aside. Add onions to the same pan that bacon was cooked in. Sauté onions until tender then set aside.

    Boil water for pasta and cook as directed on packaging. I really like to use orecchiette pasta for soup because of the shape, tiny bowls that hold the broth!
