Beef broth with cabbage, barley and chestnuts soup
Ideal cold weather fare. I had some excellent beef broth in the fridge (made with a beef tongue, some brisket and some chicken + usual aromatics: celery, carrot, onion in which I had stuck a clove, parsley, bay leaf) and other bits and bobs: finely shredded,steamed cabbage, some boiled pearl barley and some boiled and peeled chestnuts. To make a minestra was the obvious choice.
I reheated everything together + a generous handful of parmesan a tavola.

One thought on “Brodo, cavolo, orzo, castagne (Beef broth, barley, cabbage and chestnut soup)”
An obvious choice, yes, but no less an excellent one for that.
