When it comes to a cozy Fall, these Classic Italian Soups always hit the spot. There's something special about walking into your house on a Sunday afternoon to the fragrant smell of garlic, soffritto, or sausage.
In our house, we have some Italian recipes simmering all day on Sundays, especially in the Fall. If it's not an Authentic Italian Sunday Sauce or Authentic Bolognese, then it's one of these 12 delicious Italian soups!
Pro-Tips For Soup Making
- Always sear meat before putting it into the soup. The meat will be more flavorful and a fond will develop on the bottom of the pot which will make the soup more flavorful.
- Season in layers. You should be seasoning at every step of the way with soup. Every new ingredient should get at least a little salt.
- Too watery? Keep simmering. Too thick? Add more water.
- Tomato-based soup? If you add diced tomatoes or whole plum tomatoes to a tomato-based soup, bring those tomatoes to a simmer before adding broth. This will make the tomato flavor more intense and forward.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to your soup at the end of the recipe, if it calls for it. This will give you a bright and delicious finished flavor.
- Never add heavy cream when the soup is boiling or simmering. Always wait until the soup comes to a rest.
- If a recipe tells you to add everything to a pot at once, it's not a recipe; it's poor planning. Cook in steps.
- Always, and I mean ALWAYS, enjoy your soup with a fresh loaf of Italian bread.
