How to Prepare Noodle Soup From the Greek Island of Chios:

Add the chicken stock to a soup pot and set the heat to medium-high. Whisk in the tomato paste using a large whisk and then stir in the fresh tomato. Bring the stock mixture to a boil with the pan covered and then add the pasta and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for an additional twenty minutes with the pan covered.
