Italian Veggie Broth with Pastina 

Laura I can’t thank you enough for this recipe. My two-year-old won’t even look at a vegetable, let alone eat it. She is obsessed with pastina and I usually make it with chicken broth. The sodium was concerning to me, so I gave this recipe a shot. SHE IS ON HER SECOND BOWL!!!! This is the most vegetables she’s eaten in months!!! You are the BEST!!!

Whenever we would stop by my grandmothers house, she would ALWAYS ask “Are you hungry?” If we said “Nope!” out would come this soup... and we always ate it! I guess for her (and us) this wasn’t feeding us - but hugging us.

I love to hear you speak Italian, Laura. Thank you 😊

Talk about nostalgia!! I could see you getting a little emotional at the end..your heart is your Nonna! ❤🍁

Pastina....definitely a wonderful childhood memory.

Aww this choked me up! I recently lost my grandma, and hearing you speak about yours brought a tear to my eye. Hugs! You’re the best Laura!

Reminds me a lot of the Sopa de Fideos that my mom made while I was growing up.

Believe it or not, just made this this weekend, I'm from Algeria and we make this very often.. Love this so much! Thanks Laura

Love this! My grandma always made me pastina. With butter & milk or with vegetable, beef or chicken broth. Pastina is the cure for all that ails you.

Aww love the memories attached to food...nothing like home food can bring so much joy and comfort!!!

Yum this looks perfect for the weather right now. I wish Laura would come out with a apron as merch!

Aw you can tell how much love she has for her family and how much she misses it ♥️

Laura i made this and wept for grandmother.. so comforting ... why cant they live forever...😘

My mom made us pastina when we got sick. She made it with butter!! Delicious 🤤 😊❤ Miss you mom!!

I literally got emotional at the end 😭 This recipe is a must 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 we want nonna's chicken soup recipe 🥰

Exactly how my Nana made it. Thank you for reminding me of this family favorite. Now I’m going to share it with my own babies. Thank you.

This has become my absolute favorite soup. It amazes me how much flavor you can get out of just water, vegetables and some cheese.

Laura, I love your recipes but I completely adore when you tell us stories about your childhood and family. It’s so warm and loving!!😍❤️

I am FINALLY starting to see Paxton’s back in stores. I had the hardest time finding it for a bit. Making this soon!

Yes Laura....what wonderful childhood memories!!!🥰🥰🥰 I still makes this to this day and it reminds me of my grandma...we serve it with salad and crusty Italian bread! Bravo Laura...Be safe, be well✌️✌️🤗🤗

Laura my mouth is watering for this! Thank you can’t wait to make it 😋

watching lauras videos helps me with my anxiety and calms me down thank you

Oh my goodness. I just finished making this recipe and it was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much. Great comfort food for cold weather and super healthy. I absolutely love this.

Can’t wait to make this! I want to get one of those food mills and do it the right way! The nonna way! Love when you speak Italian, makes my heart smile

this is absolutely delicious. I thought boiled vegetables would be bland but this combo of veggies is so flavourful and complex. Thank you!

This brought me back to my childhood , thank you Laura ❤❤

She is most definitely the nicest, most calming person in the world ❤️ Love it

I would make this for my daughter when I lived in San Vito, Italy!

Something so simple is so good for you,the best part is you can freeze the remainder for another time and i guarantee it will taste even better.

my mom from Italy , we ate this pastina a lot and i loved it , so i am going to make it now ...great memories

Just wanted to share with you that this soup was absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing. It was so easy to make also. Italian soups or food in general is so comforting! Blessings to you and your family!

Family recipes like this are the BEST! I'll totally try it. I don't have a mill like this but I'll find a way.

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! Favor bursting throughout. As soon as you posted this I knew I had to make it. No pasta needed. I used a blender. Drank it in a mug, D E L I C I O U S ! Thanks Laura xo

Your videos make me wish I could be reborn as an Italian- and this is coming from a Greek!

Sopa de fideo was my childhood favorite!! I still make it to this day 💕

Looks absolutely amazing! 😍😍😍

I love this recipe my grandma use to made it for us. Great kitchen gadget make life’s easier

Grande 👍 Already made this and it was perfect!! Thank you Laura !

Love. Brings back memories. Thank you Laura.

Love your recipe!!!!! Soo healthy!!!!! And your presentation is great!!!!!

Quite impressive.....!, You have unbelievable cooking skills...... Liked it....! 👍

can you imagine having a mother like her but still picky about eating food😂

This is my favorite soup with pastina. 🙂👍My mother and grandmother made this .

My childhood right there in that bowl. I now make it for my grandchildren 🥰

Making this today but have to sub broken this spaghetti for the pasting. Dreary cold day and looks perfect. Thank you again Laura.

I felt all the feels. Although i did not grow up eating this soup. The feeling you described feels very familiar!

I have to tell you young lady between this recipe and the spaghetti pie you brought back some incredible memories:-) blessings to you and your family

Thanks for the recipe! Made it last night for dinner and it was amazing :)

When I tell you I relate to everything you’re saying!! Nothing better than great pastina soup ❤️

That looks sooooo good.

Wow i am so impressed

Looks so good! I remember stratcatale (spelling isn’t right!) you know what I’m talking about, chicken soup with eggs. Escarole is another favorite of mine. Thanks

Reminds me of childhood, my parents are from Mexico and my mom would make us a similar soup, small stars or fideo in a chicken bouillon based broth with onions and tomatoes, delicious. I want to make some now and try your version!

This is the only way I make vegetable soup now ! Thank you !!

Thank you!! Definitely going to make this. Pastina is comfort food to me too. BUT at my house, us French Canadians like our sweets. So a little butter, cinnamon and sugar on top... YUM!!

It nona's recipe it gonna be good. Thanks for a doing an episode!!!!

I love the fact Laura’s been on RU-vid for a decade or so and keeps her home studio kitchen modest as it was when she started...thanks for staying real!

I'm totally going to make this.

My kind of comfort food ! Thanks Laura, sooooo doing this one

My baby is almost 5 months and we’re starting her on solids soon. I can’t wait to make this for her in the future.

Looks delicious, love food that brings memories.

Can’t wait to see the kitchen makeover!

i love love the looks of the mixed vegetables! they are pretty and yummy!

After watching your video I made it and it was easy and so delicious thank you

Brings me right back to the kitchen table at my nonnas house 😍

This healthy Veggie Broth with Pastina looks delicious!

Will be our dinner on Sunday!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I made this tonight! And OMG sooo good!

This is part of my childhood too, and I'm not Italian! My neighborhood friends would invite me over for lunch, and we would have something similar, with a loaf of crusty bread!!!🤤🤤🤤

My favorite recipe I make it once a week.

This makes me yearn for an Italian ancestry. Thanks for sharing.

Needed a new soup recipe! . All suffering from Covid. I definitely be making this! 👍🏼🤗❤️

Hello Laura Mam🤗 Fantastic recipe👌 healthy , tasty , yummy n delicious😋 You are an amazing in cooking..love you always😘

Amei a receita.. Vou fazer aqui no Brasil. Parabéns pelo vídeo!!! 😘

Nice 👍🏽 and lovely 😊. Thanks for sharing

Very nice recipe

Hi Laura, how much water should be in the pot with the vegetables? The recipe doesn’t specify. Thanks for your help! I can’t wait to make this!

A childhood favorite when I was sick was pastina in broth.

Early gang 💪 we moroccans have almost the same kind of dish we call it chicha

Looks good ❤

i could totally go for a bowl of this right now

Looks delicious. Going to cook this up!

Yum, a perfect bowl of comfort. Would love to see a sbriciolata recipe!

This is so healthy! I can't wait to make this for my 7 year old boy.

My nonna literally put a slice of potato on a burn I had! Food solves EVERYTHING!

Exactly! This is my childhood. But the Stelline seemed a little bigger back then

imagine being lauras daughter and then being a picky eater XD

You need to make just a montage of all the years Laura saying "it's hot" 😂

Laura, another idea for comfort food: semolino!! Well I am from the north of Italy, but goodness I could live on that semolino everyday. With just some parmigiano reggiano and half a table spoon of olive oil... absolutely my favorite comfort food!!! Chiaramente fatto all'italiana... non sto parlando del grits americano eh!

Looks delish! I wonder, could I use a potato ricer instead of the food mill?

I can still hear my late friend Minna saying “Hon, make a me some a pasteen.” She was a sweet lady and I think of her every time I see my box of pastina in the pantry.

Quick tip for a bit more flavor: cook down slightly your veggies a bit with olive oil before adding the water!

Making this today!

Yum! I can't wait to try this!

That looks so delicious

Can you share an authentic chicken soup recipe? That would be awesome!

Excellent video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I know this is crazy but could you tell me what lipstick you have on? It looks so lovely..... Also, this soup is wonderful will make it many times over. Thank you so much

Very deliciously Chef Vitale

"Smells like home", I like that! Nona's soup is outstanding! I like what Nono wanted, chunky! But uhm, can I taste the one that pass through the food mill he he ... Can't get enough of Nona's glorious soup!!! Oh Laura I really love you being nostalgic! You are an old soul that I love so much!
