Pastini Soup is a classic Italian soup made with pastini pasta and a rich, flavorful broth. The soup is often referred to as 'Italian wedding soup' due to its popularity at Italian weddings. While the origins of the soup are not entirely clear, it is believed to have originated in Southern Italy. The soup is traditionally served as a first course at a meal, but it can also be served as a main course with a side salad or bread.
