This soup has been on repeat in my family on Thanksgiving Day for decades.  My mom makes it every single year for lunch because even though there is a big meal to eat a few hours later, you need some warm calories to keep you going in order to chop all of the veggies, mash the potatoes, roll out the pie crusts, and, most importantly, lift your fork to your mouth over and over and over again.  This recipe came from my great-grandmother and from the stories I have heard from my mom; she was a remarkable farmer and all-around boss lady.  I paired this with my 2022 Syrah, which has dark fruit and herbaceous notes that light up around the holidays.  

Fall is upon us, which means it’s almost soup season! We LOVE this recipe and have been making it for years. It's a great recipe to make in multiple batches to then freeze in quart containers for winter. It pairs best with the Lolati Primitivo.
