Love...love...love soup! This sounds so wholesome. I little trick I learned from my Italian grandmother is to toss a 1 inch square hunk of hard Italian cheese into the soup as it cooks. Adds a nice complexity to the broth!
ReplyDeleteI love soup as well! Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely add a chunk of cheese to the next large batch of soup and try it out. :-)
