Here I am with another of my beloved legumes soups 🙂 As I said many times, I eat legumes regularly, and I like to have dinner with legumes soups. Even in summer, in that case I eat them just warm 🙂 You can mix them how you prefer (of course you have to take care…

Pheasant Soup, with Ravioli filled with its Meat and Porcini Mushrooms / Brodo di Fagiano con Ravioli
I think all of you know what is a pheasant, but maybe not everyone know that you can make a very good and delicate broth with it 🙂 and with a beautiful golden color. It’s more a “cold weather” recipe maybe, but since I realized that I still had a pheasant in the freezer and…
Fava Beans Soup, with Barley
Probably I already wrote it, but I love legumes and I love this kind of soups, especially for dinner 🙂 Fava beans are very particular, they are quite different than normal beans, and you can make great things with them. They are great fresh, but in this case I used dried fava beans. And I…
Ribollita Toscana*
As I probably already said, I love to eat soups for dinner, and this is definitely great 🙂 it’s thicker than a normal minestrone (someone say that you should be able to eat it even in a flat dish), because of the bread and because of the beans purée, but it’s very tasty especially one…
Vellutata di Porcini – Porcini Cream Soup
This soup will be a perfect recipe to warm your autumn evenings 🙂 its porcini mushroom’s perfume will spread all over the kitchen and it will make it even more inviting! I admit that I prefer to make a good pasta or a good risotto when I have porcini, but when it happens that I…
Zuppa di Ceci – Chickpeas Soup
Here it is another very good and healthy legume soup: I love legumes 🙂 You can find many recipes about chickpeas soups (for example in Tuscany there is a similar recipe but they add fresh tagliolini pasta too), but I really like this one, with the extra flavor given by the rosemary which fits very…
Ököruszály leves – Hungarian Ox Tail Soup
This is my second post about traditional Hungarian recipes, following the previous Harcsapaprikás 🙂 This time it’s about a soup, the ox tail soup (Ököruszály leves in Hungarian). Well, that’s what was usually used in the past, when oxen were used as working animals and there were more of them, nowadays they are less and…
Legumes and Cereals Soup
Here I am again with another wonderful soup 🙂 This typically winter recipe will make you full easily 😀 and I don’t need to say that it’s very healthy. To make it really tasty I suggest to use a little bit of lardo, pancetta or bacon in the base, and also a Parmigiano Reggiano rind…
Cacciucco di Ceci -Tuscan Chickpeas Stew
This is another wonderful dish that I like to eat for dinner in winter time 🙂 Often this recipe is considered a side dish, but if you eat a good portion for me it’s enough to make a normal dinner 🙂 Like many recipes of the Tuscan cuisine, it’s a very tasty dish made with…
Fennel Creamy Soup, with Pearled Farro
Here it comes one of my favorite recipe for this season’s dinners 🙂 I like the fennel bulb, also raw in salads (for example it matches very well with orange), but probably I like it better in soups, it gives a very particular taste, half way between sweet and not. And paired together with a…
“Pasta e Fasule” (Pasta and Beans, Neapolitan style)
In Italy there are a lot of “pasta e fagioli” variations (“fasule” means fagioli, beans, in neapolitan dialect), most of them are real soups, but the one made in Naples area is different, it’s much more thicker and differently than for all the others the pasta is boiled inside the beans soup and not in…
French Onion Soup – Soupe à l’Oignon Lyonnaise (or Gratinée Lyonnaise)
I love soups, and onion soups are between my favorites. But between all the onion soups, probably the most famous is the french onion soup. I had the chance to try it a couple of times in France, and now that I casually found in a local supermarket a Gruyere AOP and even the Comté…
