I make a similar soup, I add a dollop of ricotta and top with Mozzarella then place under the broiler. Heaven in a bowl.
Hi Cindy! That sounds absolutely delicious! The addition of ricotta and the melted Mozzarella must give the soup an extra layer of creaminess and richness. I’ll definitely give your variation a try the next time I make it. Thanks for sharing your twist on the recipe. I always love hearing how others adapt and customize dishes.
