Continue ReadingGiannina‘S Zuppa di Ceci (Sicilian Chickpea Soup), made the traditional way with a sofritto base.I first tried this soup during a visit to the beautiful Sicilian olive farm of @tenutacavasecca, Dario’s family-owned olive oil estate. The ingredients that Giannina used to make the soup were from their own land, grown on the fertile soil of Sicily. It was made with love and years of knowledge. And I have to admit, although I used the same extra virgin olive and even dried oregano from Sicily, Giannina’s soup was a lot better than mine!
