Minestrone Romagna Style

Minestrone Romagna Style by John Spottiswood

This is the way minestrone is made in Romagna. It's not a lot of prep time, but you simmer the soup for a long time until all of the vegetable flavors mellow into one mild but delicious soup. The subtle flavors of this soup are even more delicious the next day, so it is a good dish to prepare in advance of guests arriving for a…

Tuscan Vegetable Soup - La Ribollita

Tuscan Vegetable Soup - La Ribollita by John Spottiswood

We made a heaping pot of this up at Heavenly Valley last week when up there for ski week. It was the perfect capstone to a wonderful day snow boarding. We were limited to vegetables we could find at the local supermarket, and substituted regular green cabbage for the black leaf Kale. While it was still good, I would recommend…

Italian Chick Pea Soup

Italian Chick Pea Soup by John Spottiswood

Chickpeas are one of my favorite ingredients in soup. They don't lose their texture or their nutty flavor. Whether in a spicy Harira (served during Ramadan) or in this mild flavored Italian soup, Chickpeas make soup both nutritious and delicious. This soup has been popular in Italian homes for over 1000 years, and it was…

Umbrian Lentil Soup

Umbrian Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

We're going to Italy this summer with our family, so I'm trying some dishes from the areas we'll be staying. We're staying near Gubbio in Umbria, and will be visiting a number of the famous hill towns there, so I thought I'd try this Umbrian Lentil Soup. This soup has a warm inviting aroma and a country heartiness to it. The original…

Pasta e fagioli

Pasta e fagioli by Frank Fariello

Pasta e fagioli, or pasta and beans, which goes by the amusing nickname 'pasta fazool' in Italian-American slang, is one of the most internationally famous dishes in the entire Italian repertoire. It is, however, a victim of its own success, and is too often made badly, very badly, which is why I would never order this dish in a…

Garbanzo Bean Soup

Garbanzo Bean Soup by Suzi

This garbanzo bean soup is very nourishing and quite easy to prepare. It has a tomato based broth using tomato paste. This is one of the first dishes that I learned how to make when I stopped eating meat, over forty years ago. Back then I ate cheese sandwiches with lettuce and garlic powder everyday until I realized I needed to…

Bread Soup

Bread Soup by Judy Rodgers

Here is an easy-to-remember recipe for delicious, hearty Tuscan-style bread and vegetable soup. It calls for equal amounts of each vegetable, and then you build the soup starting with the firmest vegetables, finishing with the tenderest ones. You can certainly adjust, or estimate, the amounts of any or all ingredients, but if you’ve…

Pasta and White Beans with Sizzling Garlic-Rosemary Oil - Smitten Kitchen by KarenB

Adapted, barely, from Sara Jenkins via Bon Appetit For the pasta, I used pennete, because I thought it nicely matched the little white beans (Rancho Gordo’s Alubia Blanca). Sara Jenkins called for ditalini to go with chickpeas. You can use whatever…

Minestrone: A Primer

Minestrone: A Primer by Frank Fariello

Many people think of minestrone as the kind of hearty fare best eaten in the cold weather months. Minestrone is wonderful in fall and winter, of course, but it can actually be enjoyed year-round, its component ingredients changing with the seasons, served hot in the winter, warm in the spring or autumn, and even 'cold' (ie, room…

Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Meatballs

Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Meatballs by Ian Dixon

Soup is a great dish for when a meal is needed in a hurry and this Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Meatballs is no exception. Strictly, I should say meatless balls because the recipe is using a vegetarian alternative. You could easily substitute your choice of meat to use in preparing the meatballs. I'd suggest a different stock if…
