Favorite Italian Soups

Season 9 Episode 917

Milk Street explores Italy’s repertoire of simple soups. We learn there are no meatballs in authentic Italian Wedding Soup; instead, it’s all about the marriage of meat and greens. We learn how to make Bread and Tomato Soup with Poached Eggs and Ribollita (Tuscan White Bean and Vegetable Soup), two soups that exemplifies cucina povera. Plus, we share four ways to boost your store-bought broth.
