What soups are common in Italy?
Many are made with legumes (mixed or not), these are pretty good cause you get almost the same nutrients as you get from meat; minestrone (made with different vegetables -depends on the area we live in as well but you generally find carrots, potatoes, beans, celery, spinach, broccoli, a little bit of tomatoes- and sometimes rice and/or bread) and minestrina (broth + specific type/s of pasta) are some of the most famous ones (and what we eat in hospitals, especially the latter: very good for your stomachache too). But we can make many different ones: even with pumpkins (=zucche; we also make rice + pumpkins which is really great and I can't wait to have mine lol). Other good ones are pasta and patate and pasta and ceci (remember every place, well every house has its own recipe for EVERY SINGLE DISH). Many soups are just more common in some areas than others, most of them especially in central Italy, but we're getting more aware of them and how good they are throughout the country.
