Hi Linda! Just wanted to share a little something about my background. I was born and raised in Italy, and when we talk about “pastina,” which means small pasta, we actually refer to it as “orzo,” but in Italy, we call it “risoni.” It’s considered pastina because of its small size. Hope you find that interesting!

This is not pasting, it’s orzo, two different things. Do your research

I had a box of Orzo in my cupboard and was not sure what to make with it. When I seen your pastina soup recipe, I knew that I wanted to make your soup. Your recipe was super easy to make with just a few ingredients. My family loved it!!

It was just the perfect dish for them! It was delicious and warming.
I used pasta stars and it was exactly what we all needed

I had some homemade chicken broth in the freezer so we used that and it made for such a great lunch.

I know a gaggle of Irish kids that love pastina!
