Chicken and Pastina Soup image

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.

I'm not a huge fan of pastina, so I used small pasta instead. The soup still turned out great.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some frozen peas or corn to the soup for extra flavor and texture.

This chicken and pastina soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the pastina cooked perfectly. I added some extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty.
