What better way to enjoy a cold winter
day than with a hearty soup? I have
put together a menu of soups that I
have eaten in Calabria and love to
make during the winter months. We'll
start with two lighter soups and then
move to two hearty soups. First a
delicate creamy chick pea soup
flavored with shrimp broth. The next
soup is famous in Calabria because it
is made entirely out the sweet red
onions of Tropea. The next soup is
like a thick tomato soup with
homemade pasta shavings and the
last hearty soup "minestra" is made
with my homegrown escarole and
dried borlotti beans.
We'll finish with a wonderful dessert
of poached pears stuffed with a sweet
ricotta cream.
