Directions
Pastina soup is a simple and comforting dish that is anecdotally referred to as Italian penicillin, because it's believed to have healing properties. It offers a creamy and delicious way to enjoy various vegetables that are blended together into a smooth soup. Served hot with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some fresh parsley, this easy pastina soup will warm you up during the winter months.

- Add the vegetables to the boiling broth. Loosely cover with the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.(20 minutes)
