Many Italian soups are and have been vegan since their creation. Although it is possible to convert just about any recipe into a vegan version, the compromises involved often ruin the authenticity and nature of the original recipe, and Italian soups are no exception. This book contains simple versions of traditional Italian soups that always were and always will be vegan, with no substitutions or omissions required. That is, the original creators of these recipes (Italian cooks, hundreds of years ago) did not create these soups so that they would be vegan. Instead, they created them to use available ingredients in a skillful way to create delicious and nutritious dishes. Hence, these soups are “accidentally” vegan. For this book, modern and accessible versions of these largely forgotten soups were developed for those interested in authentic Italian soup recipes that are made without animal products of any kind.

This book contains descriptions and recipes for soups such as sbroscia, the “table scrap” soup from Northern Italy, bordatino pisano, the shipboard soup dating from the tenth century, and maccu, the delightful Sicilian fava bean and fennel soup. Other soups include zuppa del contadino (farmer’s soup), zuppa di zucca e castagne (pumpkin and chestnut soup), zuppa di lenticchie rosse (red lentil soup), ciambotta (vegetable stew), maccu di San Giuseppe (Saint Joseph’s soup), and zuppa di patate, porri, e funghi (potato, leek, and mushroom soup).

A total of 30 soups are included, each with a photo of the result and serving suggestions.
