Hawaiian Star Soup
Hoku is Hawaiian for star, and because so many events in Hawaii are held outside in the evenings, this soup was created to complement the vast variety of other foods shared at potluck events. Of course any small pasta can be substituted, along with any meat, poultry, fish or tofu.
