Rice and Potato Soup – also Bimby

Rice and Potato Soup, a very good, economical dish ideal for cold evenings, can be prepared on the stove or with the Bimby. A first course from the Lombard peasant tradition, tasty and filling, a humble recipe you can make with very few ingredients: all you need is rice, potatoes, and a sprig of parsley!

This dish has been on our table for generations. It’s a memory from my childhood, made in every home and, like all family recipes, everyone has their own version. The grandmother’s recipe is passed down from mother to daughter. Some prefer more or less broth, some want the potatoes in pieces, while others prefer them mashed in the broth to form a creamy texture.

This is my family’s recipe, made the way we like it: with potato pieces and not too much broth!
