Mama Mia! Do we have an incredible soup for you! Imagine if you will, you’re feeling a little under the weather. Maybe, you’re just fighting off a cold, or you just had the kind of day that makes you feel like a newspaper flyer blowing through a deserted subway tunnel.
Now, imagine a kindly grandmother showing up with a crock full of chicken soup loaded with veggies, chicken, and pasta with an aroma that makes you feel like you’re covered in the warmest, softest blanket you’ve ever been enveloped in.
That’s the kind of soup we’re talking about!
But this soup can also be a blank canvas for whatever herbs you have growing in the garden, on your windowsill, or just kicking around in the refrigerator.
Do you have chives? Throw them in! Do you have parsley? Drop in a handful! And if you have fresh thyme? Well, you’re in luck! This soup loves thyme! But, if you don’t happen to have fresh herbs, then just reach for Italian seasoning or even just dried oregano. That will take you where you want to go too!
Note: Acini di Pepe is an itty, bitty little pasta that’s quite frankly pretty adorable! But, if you can’t lay your hands on some, orzo would work too!

I got these for my husband and he LOVED them! Starting with the box - so well made and packaged - beautifully designed and balanced handle - everything is perfect about the knife. Great job F N Sharp!
Functional, great capacity, and beautifully made. We tossed our old knife block out, but included the old knives in with the new, as there is ample room.
