Olive soup

After tasting this soup for the first time in Rome, we have served it many times as an appetizer for an Italian meal. Our guests are always pleasantly delighted.

Olive soup

We got to know this Italian surprise years ago during a visit to Rome. A fine soup with a surprising taste. Delicious as a first course at dinner. And yet very easy and quick to prepare, what more could you want?
