Hello everybody! How did you spend the weekend? We, as the rainy weather, sprawled on the couch! Today’s Receipe has been made on Easter Day! In fact it is a first impressive and elegant, also quicker to do. We cook at the time. I got this idea from the blog “un pizzico di noce moscata” Valeria Fina, a very young girl, whitch has many resources! Then I adapted a little ‘me and the only thing that I did not put are the pine nuts. Here is the recipe:

Soup Baked Bread

Soup Baked Bread

Today’s recipe is also a dish of memories, but not in the south this time, belong to the culinary tradition of Bergamo grandmother and aunt.
More precisely Andreina’s aunt, the sister of my grandmother. A frail but fearless woman, who made the first and the second world war! You do! I remember her stories, during the war she was ill with typhoid fever, she was given the last rites, but she is resurrected with that, she died at the ripe old age of 93 years!
She told me of the planes, the bombing, the Germans, everything always close to the mythical stove where she had always supported a pan that often contained her bread soup.
You have to know that she was a skinny little woman, baby,she  was not married and  she suffered a bit of solitude, ultimately we felt a little, then I screamed … ahhahha
She always ate little and ultimately toothless even more, so a pan of the bread soup lasted few days. When my grandmother went to Milan on “holiday” I was at lunch with her ​​and I remember her buttered carrots and the legendary Soup Baked Bread.
