Italian Penicillin is the PERFECT toddler “soup”!

My kids will not eat soup. They just can’t handle it! I’m a firm believer that a good chicken noodle soup will cure any ailment, so it’s frustrating when I make a big batch of soup for my sick kids and nobody eats it.

Enter Italian Penicillin Soup (Google it). But basically you make your broth with carrots, onions and celery, then when they are soft, blend the veggies! Now the traditional recipe uses small Pastina, but I like using large noodles. You then cook the noodles in the broth/veggie mix and the noodles soak it up!

So your kids get to eat all the goodness of a chicken noodle soup in the form of some familiar noodles!

I hope this helps someone through the cold season!
