“Aquacotta” (acquacotta) is an Italian soup that does not have a classic recipe. In summer, it contains a lot of fresh herbs; it is lighter and more liquid. In winter, it is thicker and more satisfying due to the abundance of vegetables. You can add dried mushrooms, beans, smoked meats, and even fish to it. And, of course, serve with a piece of fresh country bread.
