Boil 1 chicken in 8 cups of water. Add an onion and celery to season the broth. When the chicken is tender, remove the meat from the bones. Strain the broth if necessary.

Saute 1 onion, at least one clove of garlic and 4 tablespoons pesto in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add to the chicken broth. Add 2 (16 ounce) cans of white beans to the broth. Add 1 pound of ditalini macaroni to the broth. Add the chicken to the broth. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan. This is otherwise known as Italian penicillin. Great peasant food!
