Rice and Parsley Soup

Rice and parsley soup is a traditional dish from Lombardy where I grew up. It’s a simple and very delicious soup that brings back memories of my childhood. My wonderful nonna used to make it for us all the time with the fresh parsley from the garden. I love her so much.

This soup is very easy to make you need just few ingredients like rice, parsley, butter, and grated grana/parmigiano.

So lets do it!

Rice and Parsley Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 300 grams rice
• 15 grams butter
• 2 leaves of sage
• Parsley, a nice big bunch
• Broth 1.5 lt
• Salt
• Grated parmigiano cheese
• A sprinkle of love ( never forget that)

Method

To start you need a nice broth. I used leftover vegetable broth from yesterday.

Bring your broth to boil in a big pot and add the rice and let it cook for 20 minutes.

In the meanwhile clean your parsley and your sage. Cut them with a knife not too fine.

When the rice is ready put the salt,turn the heat off and add the butter the parsley and the sage.

Mix very well and serve your rice with some parmigiano cheese.
