Italian Pastina Soup, a comforting classic from Italian cuisine, is often enjoyed as a warming meal or a remedy for colds. "Pastina" refers to tiny pasta shapes, like stars or grains, which are cooked in a simple broth typically made from chicken or vegetables. The soup may also include ingredients such as olive oil, parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and sometimes beaten egg for added creaminess. This light yet nourishing dish provides carbohydrates from the pasta and protein if egg or chicken is added. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, while vegetables or herbs can offer vitamins and minerals. However, sodium levels in store-bought broth or added Parmesan cheese may be something to watch for, especially for those monitoring their salt intake. Italian Pastina Soup's simplicity, mild flavor, and easy digestibility make it a go-to comfort food for people of all ages.
