Chicken and Pastina Soup image

This is a Michael Chiarello recipe that came with a Progresso coupon I downloaded online. Have yet to try it. I have never heard of acini di pepe pasta, but the recipe says you can use 8 oz of any small round pasta. Also I don't know what mustard greens are or how to use them. The recipe mentioned that spinach, Swiss chard or other greens could be used instead.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time. However, the soup was very easy to make, and it was ready in about 30 minutes. I think this soup would be a good base for adding your own spices and flavors.
