Homemade chicken soup recipe with Pastina pasta
When you are sick, there is nothing better in the world than a bowl of homemade chicken soup. This Barilla Pastina in Brodo (Pasta in Broth) recipe by Chef Lorenzo demonstrates how to make broth from scratch by boiling ingredients together for three hours to create a rich flavorful base for the soup. The broth freezes well, can be reheated, and the pastina can be cooked in the broth. This soup can be finished with a dab of butter and some freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
