Instructions

Chop the onion, carrots, and celery; add to a pot with broth and Parmesan rind.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15-18 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Strain the vegetables, keeping the broth; blend with reserved broth until smooth.
Return the puree to the pot, stir in pastina, and simmer for 7-9 minutes.
Add grated Parmesan, season to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Chopping vegetables roughly saves time; uniformity is not essential.
Add more broth for a thinner soup if desired.
Taste the soup as you adjust the seasoning for your preference.
