Pastina and veggie soup for when you're sick
It's called Italian penicillin online. No Italian grandma's taught me this but man am I glad for it today. I made the base and froze it several months ago for days like these. All I had to do was defrost the base and cook some pasta. Big ole cup of veggie broth since I can't taste anything.
4 cups chicken broth
6 cups of water
1 whole onion, peeled and quartered
4 carrots, sliced into sticks
4 ribs of celery, large dice
6-10 cloves of garlic
Parmesan cheese rind, if you've got it
Combine everything in a large pot and bring to a boil
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes
When it's done, blend up all the veggies with a scoop or two of soup and add back into the pot
To serve
Cook some pastina, orzo, or fideo
Drain and then toss with 1 egg beaten with an amount of parmesan cheese
Add butter to the pasta and slowly add in your egg mixture
Add some noodles to the bottom of your bowl and top with soup
Adjust for seasoning ( I like a hit of acid so I added in some lemon juice) and more parmesan if you want to
Cold, begone!
