This morning at exactly 6:45, my daughter and husband simultaneously came down with a stomach virus. Just to make things extra-fun, I have another migraine.
When I was sick my mom always made me pastina soup. I do the same for my family, and since I had little energy to do much more, we all three ate pastina soup for dinner. What do you feed your family when they’re sick? Is it what your mom fed you?
Oy vey–you need your mom!
Do you make a vegetarian version of this or are you so sick you actually ate chicken? Post your family recipe when you feel better. xoxo
This is the easiest recipe in the world, if you can even call it one. Boil some College Inn chicken broth (yes, I did), it’s what my mom uses. Add pastina, boil for 6 more minutes or until pasta is cooked. That’s it!
It’s not really an exciting or particularly wonderful soup but it’s easy on the tummy and feels good when it’s going down.
Ahh, so it’s an MSG free version of the “sick soup” I grew up on, which comes from the Lipton freeze dried envelopes.
