From across Northern Italy there are many variations. A rich broth, juicy Italian tomatoes and rich herb simmered for a long time. I used a mixture of sliced mushrooms from my local supermarket and dried lobster, oyster and shitake mushrooms. Then used the mushroom juice in place of chicken broth. Outstanding reduction of rich comfort flavors.

Tender chicken meatballs flavored with Parmesan and herbs, simmered in cacciatore sauce until they soak up all the Italian flavors. Serve over spaghetti for an easy weeknight dinner.

Sausage and lentil soup that's even better the next day. Browned sausage, vegetables, and herbs simmered into a hearty broth, with lentils added near the end so they stay tender, not mushy.

Rich in flavor - low in cost. Money saving chicken thighs replace the expensive traditional veal in this rendition of an Italian classic.

My favorite as a child growing up in cold Minnesota.
