Chicken Pastina Soup - The Authentic Italian Way!
Chicken pastina soup is an Italian home remedy for the chills, or the blues. The homemade chicken broth simmers on the stove. Then pastina (think micro-sized tiny pasta) is added and cooked until tender. Finished off with grated parmigiano reggiano and a drizzle of olive oil if desired, the result is simple, while being rich, savory, and comforting at the same time.
