This Italian Penicillin Soup recipe is the ultimate comfort food. It is light, restorative, and perfect for days when you need a soothing, flavorful boost. Amelia and Jacob perfected this simple broth-based soup featuring tender vegetables and tiny pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups high-quality chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pastina (or other tiny pasta)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Shredded cooked chicken breast

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the pastina. Cook according to package directions, usually about 6 to 8 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  6. If using, stir in the shredded cooked chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra healing power, add a pinch of dried oregano with the vegetables.
  • If you prefer a clearer broth, skim any foam that rises to the surface during boiling.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day, though the pasta may absorb more liquid.
  • Use your favorite high-quality broth; the flavor base is key here.
