Orange Soup, is a typical dish of the Apulian peasant tradition, pure poetry. A very simple dish prepared with oranges, salt, pepper, water, parsley, tomatoes, and toasted bread. Bread was always available at home and even when stale it was toasted and used for soups, my comfort food.
The orange soup is very similar to Cialledda with the base of cialledda always being the stale bread, slightly soaked to soften it and then seasoned with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt, onion, oregano, basil…….a fresh, healthy and genuine dish.
We can also enjoy oranges in fennel and orange salad or in salad with salmon
