Description

Chef John's chicken pastina is like a big, warm hug from an Italian grandma, a comfort food that will, quite literally, change your mood. You can make this simple soup with a fortified broth if you have the time, or simply use off-the-shelf chicken broth for the 15-minute version.

Ingredient:

  • 4 cups prepared chicken broth
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup star-shaped pastina, or acini di pepe
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
  • extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
