This traditional Chicken Pastina Soup is made with pastina, any type of small pasta, homemade chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900 grams) chicken wings
  • 7 cups water
  • 2 small carrots (or 1 large carrot)
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ⅓ cups (200 grams) small pasta ((stelline, acini di pepe, alphabet pasta, anellini))
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ((Parmigiano Reggiano cheese))

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the onion and cut in half. Cut the celery into finger long lengths. Cut off the carrot top. I usually just wash the carrots but you can peel them as well.

  2. 2

    Place the saucepan of strained broth over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the pastina, reduce the heat and stir well. Continue to simmer rapidly over medium heat until the pasta is just cooked about 4-5 minutes.
