This recipe is perfect for any picky eater as I have made sure to hide all the veggies by blending them into the broth. Traditionally we like to dust freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top, but if you are dairy-free you can absolutely adjust. This broth can be made into a beef broth by adding beef, chicken broth by adding chicken, or simply enjoying like this. I like to alternate between beef, chicken, and veggie depending on my mood.

Instructions

Step 1

Fill a big pot with water or ½ water and ½ organic unsalted vegetable broth. Add in all the whole peeled and washed vegetables and let it come to a boil. Feel free to add any other veggies like zucchini as you won't taste it once it's blended. Add salt and make sure to add more as you taste and adjust at the end.

Step 2

Once the broth is boiling, be sure to reduce the heat to medium-low and semi cover it with a lid. Let it go for 45 minutes or until the veggies are all super soft and it has reduced.

Step 3

You can now take out the whole veggies with a slotted spoon and throw them in the blender with two ladles of the clear broth. Blend until everything is nice and smooth, add it back into the pot and stir.

Step 4

In the meantime, boil any pastina of choice in a small pot of salted water separately. Once the pastina is cooked, you can add it to the bottom of a bowl, pour in the broth on top and dust with some parm. Enjoy.
