Heat a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat and add olive oil. 
Stir in carrots, celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until onion is translucent and veggies are lightly browned. 
Add in your chicken stock or broth and increase heat to high. Allow stock/broth to boil and then reduce heat to low. 
Stir in pastina and cook for 8-10 minutes letting the pastina soak up the broth. 
Stir in parmesan, lemon zest/juice and salt and pepper. 
Continue to cook to desired consistency or serve right away.
