Italian restaurants here in the states, but its name is misleading. Its not traditionally
served at weddings in particular instead, the name refers to the marriage of
greens and broth. (via Jo Cooks)

andouille sausage, onion, olive oil and red potatoes. If youre more in the mood for
spicy chorizo, substitute that instead. Either way, this soup will be nourishing, mildly
spicy and *packed* with flavor. (via The Noshery)

the flavors of black pepper, olive oil and garlic, and comprised of ham and black
beans. Its as nourishing as it is tasty, and can easily be garnished with Greek yogurt
in lieu of sour cream in order to make it even healthier. (Of course, that will take away
the authenticity of the dish, but well let you decide.) (via The Kitchn)

isnt for you it takes roughly three days to make if you want to go the traditional
