Tuscan Soup Recipes (Zuppe Toscane)

In Tuscany, zuppe are much more than a first course – they are a reflection of our rural heritage, where bread, beans, vegetables, and good olive oil transform simple ingredients into unforgettable comfort food.

From the countryside around Florence and Siena to the Maremma coastline, each bowl carries its own accento di territorio: thick, bread-enriched soups like ribollita and pappa al pomodoro, the coastal warmth of acquacotta and mare e ceci, and the ancient grains of minestra di farro. Slow cooking, seasonal vegetables, and respect for every piece of bread are at the heart of this Tuscan tradition.

Explore this collection of soup recipes and bring the heritage of Tuscan farmhouse kitchens to your table, one comforting bowl at a time.
