Tuscan Women Cook Celebrates the Beauty of Stale Bread with a Favorite Italian Fall Vegetable Soup Recipe
Italians consider stale bread a preferred ingredient for many popular recipes. The word stale does not conjure up negative connotations in Italy. Rather, cooking with stale bread prevents waste. It is often a better choice in dishes that call for firm, hard bread. When stale bread is toasted, then added to broth, it maintains its shape and absorbs all the flavors, becoming an invaluable addition. Tuscan Women Cook shares a delicious fall soup recipe featuring stale bread that is a favorite of the Nonnas of the Tuscan village of Montefollonico, as well as the participants of Tuscan Women Cook.
