Soup, in my opinion, is the nectar of the Gods. You can literally throw anything in the pot, add water, earthy veggies, meat (or meatless), pasta, beans, fragrant bay leaves and you end up with a warm and comforting bounty in a bowl.
There really aren't any rules to the soup making process, the possibilities are endless. This recipe is a super quick and easy version of Chicken Pastina soup when you crave some comfort that is practically effortless.
Quick Chicken Pastina Soup
1 c. cooked chicken, chopped (I used leftover turkey)
4-14 1/2 oz. cans chicken broth
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
1 stalk piece of celery sliced
1 small onion diced
1/2 c. pastina
2 bay leaves
pepper to taste
Add broth, chicken, veggies and bay leaves to pot and bring to gentle bubble. Simmer with lid on for 10 min. Add pastina to soup, stirring occasionally with lid on for another 15 minutes. This would be lovely with fresh, chopped parsley added when finished cooking. Enjoy!
