In Tuscany as well as here in Umbria, many summer soups favor vegetables, legumes, grains, pasta, or a combination of these and are served with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a dollop of fresh pesto sauce, or some freshly grated cheese. These soups are a perfect choice on a warm evening paired with a crisp green salad and a loaf of crusty fresh baked bread as they are light, yet filling, and just happen to be very healthy for you too!
