My husband was put on the Mediterranean diet by his cardiologist a while ago. I found your channel and it has literally changed his life!! There are SO many options for him that are healthy AND delicious.
I’m making this soup next!!!! Thank you so much! Blessings to you!
I have a cold and this soup is on the menu for tonight!
The coziest pastina soup with vegetables, tiny pasta, chicken broth and parmesan cheese. Who's trying it?!
Cant wait to make this soon for me can i use vegetable broth i never had pastina soup before perfect for raining days in Singapore and after office meals
Yummy 😋
I've been on a soup kick lately, so this recipe will definitely be added to the rotation to try! Thank you, Suzy! Please. keep these "immunity boosting" recipes coming! 🤗❤️
Wow pastina soup recipe I love this food yummy❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing😊
My husband is from Calabria and when I had a cold he made this for me. I tell you, that soup made me feel so much better. I believe it could even grow back a limb. 😊
When I was a child (many decades ago) my mother would cook the star-shaped pastina as a hot breakfast cereal with a little milk and a sprinkle of sugar! And she was of German descent! This soup looks so delicious, I need to try it, but I haven't seen pastina in the grocery stores. I have found orzo and many other shapes, but no pastina! Thanks!
I can not wait to try! Every soup recipe of yours, that I've tried, I love!! This looks so easy too! Thanks Suzy!
Where are you from ? Italy or Greece?
Trying this recipe with dittalini pasta. That's the smallest pasta I can find here. SO glad you didn't throw out the vegetables!
I haven't seen the star or alphabet pasta in ages!
I love your recipes!❤️And this soup will be my next to try. 🥣
OT question…what do you use in your hair to give it that texture?🥰
My Sicilian grandma and great grandma made something similar. I'd never heard the word pastina until the internet. It was chicken stock, Acini di pepe. After it was mostly cooked, we drizzled scrambled egg in and topped with a lot of parmesan cheese. My mom made it, and I made it for my kids.
❤ An Italian love affair ⭐
I am not familiar with Parmesan rind. Where do you find this? I’ve seen Parmesan cheese but what does the rind look like? Walmart is the biggest food store I’m mostly at.
I grew up on this soup however Pastina is no longer manufactured from what I understand. I can't find it in stores or online. Can anyone tell me where you are finding it?
Yum!
I add an egg or two…depending how big my pot is.
Just stir it around.
Adds protein.
Use an immersion blender. So much easier
Very nice. I'm a novice at best. How long do you boil the hard vegetables before simmering them? And can I use an immersion blender in lieu of a food processor which I don't have? Thank you very much.
Recipe please & thank you 😊
Just made this for dinner and it's delicious. My kids love the little stars and wanted seconds.
