Chicken Pastina Soup

I have made something similar to this before but I have not written down the recipe...this is pretty close to mine.  Panera makes a terrific asiago demi loaf that would go great with this soup.  This is another fan favorite of the boy.  Chicken soup really is good for the soul.

8 to 10 cups of hot chicken stock
2 to 3 carrots, sliced
2 to 3 celery ribs, sliced
2 to 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper
8oz. acini de pepe pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a large pot, bring stock to a boil.  Add carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken, salt and pepper; boil 5 to 7 minutes.  Reduce heat; simmer 35 to 40 minutes.

About 10 minutes before the soup is done, prepare pasta according to package directions.  Drain pasta and add to soup.  Add Parmesan and stir to blend flavors.
