Potato Soup Italian Style

This recipe is truly a family favorite. I don’t know any one else that makes this. I think my father-in-law invented it. When people had little money they used whatever was at hand. My father used to say ‘one will never starve if they have potatoes, onions, and a loaf of bread.’ This is a typical peasant recipe that was made when times were not as affluent as they are today. Really good on a cold snowy day.

Step: 1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. To the onions add water, potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but still firm.

Step: 2

Remove from heat and gently crack eggs into soup; be careful not to break eggs. Place on low heat until whites of eggs are cooked. Cool slightly before serving.

When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor goes way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
