Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 cups vegetable broth; 1 onion (peeled and quartered); ¼ inch ginger; 2 carrots (peeled); 4 sticks celery (sliced in half); 6 cloves garlic; 1 tsp salt (omit if vegetable broth is already salty); 1½ cup dry pastina; freshly cracked black pepper; fresh parsley (chopped)

Soup

Add water or vegetable broth to a pot and bring to a boil. Add all of your vegetables, and simmer for 25 minutes, until slightly softened.

Cook pastina separately while the vegetables are simmering.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully spoon out the whole vegetables and transfer them to your blender, with around 2 cups of the broth. Allow to cool until safe to handle, then blend until a thick puree is formed.

Pour that back into your broth and stir. To a bowl, add your cooked pastina or pasta of choice, and pour the broth over the top. Top with fresh parsley and black pepper, and enjoy.

1 tsp salt (omit if vegetable broth is already salty)
