Pasta Soup

Pasta Soup

After a holiday vacation full of treats and fast-food, when I got home my body felt overwhelmed and my stomach bloated. I needed something healthy, soothing, and warm to eat. I decided on some soup with small pasta (pastina), which is not only an ideal post-holiday meal, but promises a quick and delicious recovery for the ill, especially during the cold months.

Enjoy our Pasta Soup!
