Recently, I came across this mysterious soup I have never heard about. The few who know it call it Fairytale Soup – Minestra delle Favole. Once you taste it you’ll agree it’s truly fantastic, and the perfect warm meal to have in the evening when you are ready to cozy up and end the day. I guess, instead of fairies you’ll dream of sausage and beans (ha ha)!
The “Soup of Fables” is an evocatively named recipe that brings to mind the authentic flavors of the past—a comfort food from another time, perfect for nourishing both the body and spirit! It is a creamy pasta soup with mixed legumes, enriched with sausage and onions, and flavored with rosemary: a hearty and rustic first course to be enjoyed during the colder months, perhaps in front of a crackling fire. The sausage adds a rich and savory touch to the dish, but it can be substituted with another meat according to preference.
We don’t know much about its origins, but we are sure it has been cooked for many many years but many families around Italy, with slight recipe variations. Feel free to use ours as a base and add your own twist.
Now that we’ve made you wonder how tasty this fairytale soup must be, it’s time for you to make it and try it. Are you ready? Gather your ingredients and let’s get cooking.
