In a large stockpot, bring the chicken broth, lemon juice, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind, if using, to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the carrots and simmer until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the broken pasta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and Parmesan rind and discard.
Stir in 1/2 of the cheese and the parsley.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
