Italian penicillin

Hi everyone and welcome back! For todays post I decide to do a meal that is both warm and comforting during this cold weather. It also is perfect for people who are feeling under the weather, especially with flu season right around the corner! This meal is super easy and quick to make, perfect for people who are super busy and need to make something quick. The meal that we will be making today is called Pastina soup or Italian penicillin. 

 What you will need:

·      6 cups vegetable broth 

·      1 small yellow onion

·      4 cloves garlic 

·      2 stalks celery 

·      2 large carrots 

·      ½ pound of pastina 

·      2 ounces fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional for garnish)

·      ½ tsp of black pepper (also optional for garnish)

·      A group of vegetables on a table Description automatically generated“Carrots, celery, Onion, Garlic.” Hummingbird Thyme,4 October 2018, https://hummingbirdthyme.com/ham-and-white-bean-soup/70237e47-2eb4-4403-8315-e4f91a7838e3/. 

How to make:

1.     Wash all your veggies. Peel your onion, garlic, and carrots. Once done cut in half your carrots, celery, and onion.  

2.     Then in a large pot put in your vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once at a boil put in the vegetables and cover the pot and let it boil for 15 minutes. 

3.     Once the vegetables have been boiling for 15 minutes remove them from the pot and put them into a blender, along with ¼ cup of the broth the vegetables were in. Blend until smooth and then put the puree vegetables back into the boiling broth. Stir to combine.  

4.      A blender with vegetables on a cutting board Description automatically generatedWorkman, Katie. “Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe.” The Spruce Eats, 1 January 2023, https://www.thespruceeats.com/easy-pureed-vegetable-soup-recipe-4011586.5.     After you combine the puree and the broth you are going to add in your pastina. Once the pastina is added cover your pot and boil for 8 minutes, making sure to stir halfway in between. 6.     Once the pastina is done cooking take it off the heat and serve it hot with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and black pepper on top (optional). Enjoy!

getting to know me and what the blog will be about

  Hi, my name is Riley, and I created this blog to share delicious recipes and to share how cooking can be a great outlet for emotions.    Here is a little bit of background on me and why I wanted to do this blog. Growing up I had been really interested and fascinated with cooking. I remember at a young age that I would watch my dad cook and be so intrigued of what he was doing and how he was preparing the meal. I started to ask my dad if I could help him and when I was able to help my face would light up with joy because I got to learn new skills. As I got older my dad trusted me more with helping him in the kitchen, so I got to do a lot more work than I did before hand and with this I realized that I really liked cooking. By a certain point I was able to tell what me and my dad needed more of, just by tasting the food.    Cooking has helped me  build closer relationships  to the people I love by sharing something that I love with them. My favorite thing is when I get to cook with peo
