Tiny Pasta and Egg Soup

Submitted by Karens Krazy Kitchen

"Serve this to or eat yourself when the body and soul needs a gentle hug… Kids love it with the little alphabet pasta. Be sure to cook the pasta first and drain so the soup is not too starchy. You can sneak in anything green that you like, but sometimes, it's nice to have a simple pleasure..."

To make this even better, add a generous amount of Parmesan cheese to the eggs and beat them together before adding to the soup.

I made this for my husband and he just loved it! I used orzo, as that was all I could find at the time that was tiny. So simple and quick to make! Thanks!
