Zuppa di Pane all'Aglio
Bread Soup with Garlic
When my mother cooked this soup it meant that it was the end of the month, before the 27th, when everybody on salary got paid. I greatly admire how my mother used to achieve such wonders with the humblest of ingredients. I recently cooked this soup 'enriched' with egg yolks, and it was sheer heaven!
Zuppa di Pesce
Fish Soup
This recipe of mine is merely one vision of the hundreds of fish soups that can be found in all Italian coastal towns, and is usually called "brodetto". It is a dish that can be tasty even if you have only a couple of kinds of fish to choose from. Monkfish, prawns and even mussels are ideal for this soup as they have a good flavour and do not disintegrate when cooked. If you can increase the proportions of fish, this soup can even become a main course.
