ingredients
8 cups chicken broth
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or chicken tenders
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped or thinly sliced
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup star-shaped egg pastina pasta
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Suggested garnishes
grated Parmigiano or Romano cheese
chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
oyster crackers
crushed saltines

directions
In a large pot, heat half of the broth to boiling. Add chicken and bay leaf, and simmer, covered, about 8 minutes. Add vegetables as you chop them. Remove chicken after 8 minutes and place on cutting board to cool.
Add remaining broth to your pot and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook 6 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
Dice chicken, add to pot, and season with pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf. If soup is too thick, add water for desired consistency.
Top with your choices or garnishes and serve with crusty bread.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
