A soup called Roberto

jodiA soup called Roberto
I’ve done It twice with the hot. There is something really nice about a little kick with all that tangy tomato/cheese/lemon juice.

NinaI still have to try this. Maybe over the weekend. Has anyone tried it without the sausage, or with a non-meat alternative?

wtgI haven't but wonder if cremini mushrooms might be a good substitute. And maybe a few pasta shells?
And jodi is right about that little bit of heat. Maybe just adding some cayenne or a bit of crushed red pepper might add that kick that is part of what makes the soup so appealing.

Mary AnnaI'm at home enjoying a snow day. There have been precious few of those in my life.
To celebrate, I made vegetable soup!

wtgFirst time I made it I forgot the lemon.
This time, I squeezed some lemon in.
I like it better without the lemon.
YMMV.

Definitely a great idea! Really bad weather triggers my nesting/cooking genes as well. If I lived in a really cold climate, I'd never leave the house and we'd be living off of soup, chili and baked bread.

Mary AnnaI didn't read the recipe when you first posted this. I love her approach to recipes as programs! And I also love that she relaxed her approach, because humans are not computers.
If I have parmesan cheese, then I have the makings for Soup Roberto, sort of. I have bratwurst instead of Italian sausage, and I have collards instead of kale. I think I'll risk it.
wtg, maybe I can call it Soup Armando.

wtgSoup Armando. I love it.
I don't put the parmesan cheese in the soup as she describes; we just sprinkle some on our individual portions, and we often just skip it altogether.
If you're going to do it, I actually think a chunk of parmesan rind would be better. Otherwise, the grated cheese melts and sticks on the spoon and the bottom of the bowl. I had rinds available, but forgot to throw them in when the soup was cooking.
We tried it with lemon juice and without, and definitely preferred without. But Cindy mentioned a splash of balsamic vinegar in her vegetarian version (in the Kale thread), and I thought that sounded kind of interesting.

wtgBump.
It's bloody freezing outside, and time to re-evangelize this recipe. Nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day....

Steve MillerI have some kale going sideways in the crisper and the rest of the ingredients as well.
High tomorrow is 21 degrees. I’m not going anywhere and will give this soup a shot.
