The Roman Vignarola

The name of this soup originates from the plants that were sown in the vineyards, in fact it should be called the Roman spring. It is only prepared with fresh vegetables and this is only possible in the spring when there are the last artichokes, the first peas and the lettuce grows seamlessly.

It is green this soup, the color of the lawns in spring, softer and sweet as a ripe fruit and needs a lot of work in the preparation.

In fact, it could also be called the spring excuse, an excuse to go to the market that at this time of year offers visions of great color.

The processing of these vegetables, where I live now,required a great deal, but in the homely Roman markets I am sure you will find and buy the clean and grained vegetables without any difficulty. It will be spring and there will be nothing left to assemble the best ever soup, ops Roman spring.
