How to Make Pastina Soup

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

1️⃣ In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
2️⃣ Add the pastina pasta and cook according to the package instructions (about 5-7 minutes).


Step 2: Add the Egg & Flavorings

3️⃣ Once the pastina is tender, reduce the heat to low.
4️⃣ Stir in the butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese until melted.
5️⃣ Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup while stirring to create silky egg ribbons.


Step 3: Season & Serve

6️⃣ Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed.
7️⃣ Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.


Tips & Variations

Creamy Version – Stir in a splash of milk or heavy cream for extra richness.
Add Protein – Shredded rotisserie chicken makes this soup heartier.
Vegetarian Option – Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Extra Veggies – Add carrots, peas, or spinach for extra nutrition.


Storing & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm on the stovetop with a little extra broth, as the pasta absorbs liquid over time.
  • Not Ideal for Freezing: The pastina will become too soft after thawing.
