As published in Delicious Living in March 2010. If my Grandmother had been Italian, she would have made this soup. It is as wholesome and delicious as it is beautiful. Prep tip: If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use one 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.

ITALIAN HARVEST SOUP



Italian Harvest Soup image

I love soups, but I love to make different ones all the time, otherwise it gets boring. This is a nice spin on vegetable soup. The dry salami to use is hot soppressata, which can be bought in the supermarket here in the Northeast, but certainly at any Italian deli.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good option.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will add flavor to your soup. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
  • Serve with a crusty bread or crackers: A crusty bread or crackers are a great way to serve Italian Harvest Soup. They will help to soak up the broth and add some extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Italian Harvest Soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It's made with fresh vegetables, beans, and pasta, and it's simmered in a flavorful broth. This soup is sure to warm you up on a cold day.
