Acquacotta soup recipe
Here’s a recipe for Acquacotta soup for 4 servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 slices stale bread, torn into pieces
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add torn pieces of stale bread to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the flavors of the soup.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering soup. Repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them out evenly in the pot. Cover and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the Acquacotta soup into bowls, making sure each serving has an egg. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Acquacotta soup!
Buon appetito!
