Italian Potato Soup
Hearty
This Italian Potato Soup makes a hearty rustic meal. Is it that time of a year for soup already? There’s no better time. Soup is great anytime of the year but for some reason it’s especially delicious in the fall.
This recipe is comfort food at its best. There is nothing better than nice chunks of potatoes, carrots and zucchini swimming in a chicken broth and flavored with pancetta, onions, shallots and parsley.
Italian Potato Soup can be served as a first course or as an entire meal. Either way just make sure you serve it with a nice crusty loaf of Italian bread and a glass of wine. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS
