Steps:
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, celery, carrot and shallots and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the parmesan rind, chicken stock and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the pasta and stir with a wooden spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Return to a simmer and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, or until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is slightly thickened.
- Remove the thyme sprigs and parmesan rind. Stir in the peas. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated parmesan and lemon zest, if desired.
ITALIAN PASTINA EGG DROP SOUP
Steps:
- Bring the chicken broth and water to a boil. Once boiling, cook 1 cup of pastina pasta in the broth. (Cook the pastina according to the time on the box.)
- While the pastina is cooking, beat the eggs in a small bowl and then whisk in the parmesan cheese with the eggs.
- Once the pasta is cooked remove the pot from the heat.
- Before adding the egg mixture to the pasta you need to temper the eggs so they don't scramble in the heat. To do this: add a spoonful of the hot pasta/broth to the eggs and whisk. Repeat that 2 times until the eggs are warm then add the egg mixture to the pot with the pasta. Whisk everything until smooth.
- Add in the salt, pepper, butter and parsley and whisk again until everything is combined.
- Serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of cheese and parsley and a drizzle of olive oil if you're feeling fancy!

TINY PASTA AND EGG SOUP
Serve this to or eat yourself when the body and soul needs a gentle hug... Kids love it with the little alphabet pasta. Be sure to cook the pasta first and drain so the soup is not too starchy. You can sneak in anything green that you like, but sometimes, it's nice to have a simple pleasure...

CHICKEN AND PASTINA SOUP
This is a Michael Chiarello recipe that came with a Progresso coupon I downloaded online. Have yet to try it. I have never heard of acini di pepe pasta, but the recipe says you can use 8 oz of any small round pasta. Also I don't know what mustard greens are or how to use them. The recipe mentioned that spinach, Swiss chard or other greens could be used instead.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken broth or stock for the best flavor. If you have time, make your own chicken broth using a whole chicken or chicken bones. - Add vegetables to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and leeks. - Use small pasta shapes like pastina or orzo for a classic chicken and egg soup. You can also use larger pasta shapes like macaroni or penne if you prefer. - Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and parsley. - Be careful not to overcook the eggs. The soup should be hot enough to cook the eggs, but not so hot that they become tough and rubbery. - Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.Conclusion:
