Soppa Ta Larmla Widows Soup
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 heaping Tbsp. tomato paste
3 lg. onions, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 chopped and cleaned cauliflower
1 C. cooked beans (or peas)
2 chopped carrots
Any other vegetables you want
1 C. dry pasta (elbows, shells, broken-up spaghetti, etC.)
1 chopped lg. potato
2 eggs, slightly beaten in a cup
1 C. ricotta or feta cheese
Cooking Instructions
In a large soup pot, fry the onions in the oil until they are softened. Stir in the tomato paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fill the pot to the halfway mark with water, bring to a boil and add the cauliflower, beans, carrots and other vegetables. After 3/4 hour of simmering, add pasta and potato.
Add more water if needed to cover the vegetables and cook for 20 minutes more. Into this simmering soup gently add eggs and cheese.
For a special treat we often cracked open and dropped in a whole egg for each child or added hardened chunks of Parmesan cheese to soften in the soup. I think you’ll agree this soup, served with a good bread, can be a meal in itself.
