Tuscan Bean Soup
This hearty Tuscan soup is ideal for winter months. Begin with a charcuterie platter, then serve the soup with crusty bread and a crunchy salad. For dessert, my Chocolate Bread Pudding is ideal.
Winter Minestrone
Paired with a robust red wine, this hearty soup will warm your soul on a dark winter’s night. Leftovers are welcome, and the soup tastes even better the next day.
Lamb and Lentil Soup
This rich and hearty soup benefits from lamb bones. If available, ask your butcher to cut a couple of lamb ribs into thirds. (The soup is still delicious without them, but the layering of flavors won’t be as pronounced.)
