Zuppa Del Giorno Soup

This is a simple Italian soup. Some people call it Italian Wedding Soup, and others know it as Zuppa Del Giorno Soup, It’s so delicious and made with lots of vegetables with some spices, which makes it a perfect choice for light dinners sometimes.

What I noticed about Zuppa Del Giorno Soup is that everyone makes it in their own way, with their own touch. For example, I’ve seen some people use different vegetables, and some even replace the pasta. Yes, this soup includes pasta, with meat like chicken, which is fine for me at least. But I did my best to make it as traditional as possible.

I used the vegetables I had at the moment. Just so you know, this recipe was made last Friday, so I used carrots (one of my favorite veggies, especially in soups), celery, potato, and some green beans. For pasta, I used ditalini as I love it, and I also added some cooked cannellini beans. Of course, I used lots of spices with it, the best one being garlic for sure.

The taste was cozy and really comforting. I highly recommend this soup, especially in the winter, so be sure to save it for later.

What to Serve with Zuppa Del Giorno Soup?

I love having my Zuppa Del Giorno Soup with some Tomato and Tuna Pasta, which I actually made on the same day using ditalini pasta too. It turned out to be a perfect choice for the soup. You can also serve it with some garlic or basil bread, some roasted sweet potatoes, or A few slices of bruschetta topped with tomatoes and basil for more Italian flavors. And don’t forget dessert. I served some soft Pandan Cookies to my family after dinner, and it made the full meal and experience so special and enjoyable for everyone.
