This Italian soup reminds me of Italy and how much I truly love visiting that European country. I have been there three times and that is not nearly enough. I could see myself living there for a summer one day. That would be one major thing on my bucket list. The people and the food are amazing. Everything they make is fresh and made with love. Similar to a so called perfect day in my very own kitchen here in New Mexico. If I only had the time to cook like that every day . . . no rush, taking my time to buy fresh produce and prepare everything with love. Lately life is so busy. I am looking forward to school getting out for summer. Things will slow down a little and I can take more time to be creative in the kitchen. I can’t wait! So until next time my friends - Bon Appetit, Cecelia
