Steps

Add water or vegetable broth to a pot and bring to a boil. Add all of your vegetables, and simmer for 25 minutes, until slightly softened.
Cook pastina separately while the vegetables are simmering.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully spoon out the whole vegetables and transfer them to your blender, with around 2 cups of the broth. Allow to cool until safe to handle, then blend until a thick puree is formed.
Pour that back into your broth and stir. To a bowl, add your cooked pastina or pasta of choice, and pour the broth over the top. Top with fresh parsley and black pepper, and enjoy.
