"Seasonal cooking is anyway better suited to those who live in sunnier climates. The rest of us need to make the most of what warmth is offered, and much of the time this has to emanate from the kitchen rather than from the skies outside. Summer is an idea, a memory, a hopeful projection. Sometimes when it's grey outside & cold within, we need to conjure up the sun, some light, a lazy feeling of having all the wide-skied time in the world to sit back and eat warmly with friends." Nigella Lawson
I've seen lots of versions of this recipe before in numerous Italian cookbooks, and yet this was the first time I'd tried it. It was perfect comfort food for a rainy October evening, whilst watching my favourite series of the moment 'Prison Break.' It's texture is more risotto than soup, and satisfyingly filling. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it before- well worth a bit of therapeutic stirring.

That looks sooo good! (Looks like you've got some tasty bread there, too.) Sounds like a perfect evening -- curling up w/risotto & a cool show!
