"By: Emily Richards (@ERiscooking) I enjoyed this soup in Maremma, in a small family owned restaurant. This is their family soup that the local farmers ask for on cool nights but also for a quick lunchtime treat. This soup is hearty enough to serve as dinner. You can top off the eggs with some salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese if desired...."
