Lots of recipes and foods bring me back to my childhood in Southern Italy. But perhaps none other more so than this dish. Unpretentious, casual and even possibly considered ‘peasant food’; many a chilly night we’d fill our tummies with this meal. It’s satisfying and comfort food to the max. While you can use any rice, the Arborio surely makes it creamier. If you prefer a drier soup, you can use a little bit less water, while if you prefer a more watery soup, simply add an extra cup or so or water.
