Premium Soups

There is nothing quite as satisfying as a bowl of rich, hearty soup. Soups are eaten in almost every corner of the world and over the years, certain soups have become associated with particular countries- Italy is no exception, with several regions boasting claim to some of the world's best soups. People today eat soup for different reasons than they did yester year. Once considered an inexpensive meal for the poor, soup has become popular among the health conscious consumer.

*  "Lenticchie" is the name given to the very simple yet delicious soup known as lentil. The brown lentils used in this Sicilian classic are embellished with small cut pasta and bits of carrot, garlic and of course, finocchio (the bulb of the fennel plant.)

* Pasta Fazool (Minestrone) is synonymous with the Southern region of Italy. "Fazool" is from the Italian word "Fagioli," which means "bean". The Neapolitans perfected this thick, three bean, multi-vegetable pasta soup which entitled them to rename the dish in their own dialect and it thus became known as "Pasta Fazool".

* Porcini Mushroom Soup epitomizes comfort food, perfect for a cold day or any day. The addition of porcini mushrooms makes this soup a hearty and fragrant choice. Found in the woodlands of certain pine trees, the porcini mushrooms add an earthy quality to an already unique soup. 

*  "Brodo di Pollo" literally means "Chicken Broth" in Italian. This translation accurately reflects the wholesome goodness and intensity of flavor of this satisfying fare common to many cuisines of the world. With as many recipes as supposed curative properties, the Italian version of Chicken Noodle Soup is an uncomplicated marvel. Bits of carrot, celery, onion, chicken and of course, egg pasta are added to a hearty chicken to create a light, yet filling meal.

* In Sicilian Split Pea, the word "spaccarelli" is a combination of the word "spaccare" (to break) and "piselli" (green peas). Our authentic rendition of this heart-warming split pea soup includes carrots, peas, garlic and ditali pasta. Simply delicious. 

* The White Bean Soups of Tuscany are unforgettable: white beans in a rich, thick broth laden with pasta and vegetables such as carrots, peas, broccoli and garlic. The taste of this rustic yet elegant Tuscan classic will long be remembered.
