I simply returned from Italy and France. I’m nonetheless lacking the meals, and hope to quickly recreate a few of the dishes. Within the meantime, I had this concept for an Italian impressed summer season soup.
Truly this soup happened fairly accidentally. I hoped to make use of eggplant, canned tomatoes, and bell pepper to make a hen dish. However once I roasted the greens with olive oil, white wine and garlic, coated within the onion and determined to mix and make a soup or a sauce.
As soon as blended, I added in some heavy cream and broth and it turned to be a stunning summer season soup. You can go dairy free (see beneath).
