This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup didn't turn out very good. The broth was bland and the pastina was overcooked.

I'm not a big fan of pastina, so I used small shells instead. The soup turned out great! It was hearty and flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again.
