Our final soup for the year is a Father's Day sausage spesh! ๐ฎ๐น Italian Wedding Soup ๐ฎ๐น
Italian married soup "Minestra Maritata" refers to how the soup's fennel greens and pork cuts marry in flavour. It's a Neapolitan soup of endive lettuce (escarole) simmered with sausages and tiny pasta (fregola) in a light broth, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano. The American "Wedding Soup" that Italian immigrant communities developed in the USA has drifted into a distinct American classic โ usually with tiny meatballs and acini di pepe.
Shout out to Superdad Luke from for the home butchered sausages, Renee from for the recipe and Jin from who requested it a while back (it's his fave).
Also thank you to everyone who came and supported the Hot Soup Sunday project this winter. We shared some good ones!
