No, you’re not having a flashback to four months ago.
I just realized that I never posted the meal for this past Easter.
Which was a shame, because I made a delicious Tuscan bread and vegetable soup called “ribollita” for starters …
… baked lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and garlic, risotto and asparagus for the main and vanilla “cake for one” filled and frosted with a vanilla buttercream and decorated with Easter jimmies for dessert. A simple lemonade spiked with raspberries and blackberries to wash it down.

It’s been so long since I made the soup that I can’t remember which adaptation I used of the four recipes I have saved in my Italian folder. Based on the pictures of the ingredients in the photo folder for the soup, I’m guessing this one. Though I didn’t use canned beans but cooked cannellini beans from dry.
Home made croutons were used both in the soup itself as a thickener and, seasoned, as a garnish that was stirred in just before serving. If you like your croutons crunchy, serve a bowl of the croutons on the table and let each diner add their own.
It was a great meal … even in retrospect.
When I read the title, I did wonder…
LOL
I was going to pre-date it … maybe I should.
This is cute! Splendid meal, even in retrospect. dear friend!
Thank you.
Very welcome!
That does look wonderful. Soup season may be upon us again, too soon for my liking even though I adore soup.
Thank you. There’s nothing like a nice big pot of soup to warm up a kitchen in the cooling weather. 🙂
We are traveling in Europe and when I first clicked on your blog, I thought something was wrong with the internet connection here. 😊 Your Easter meal looks delicious and would be great anytime of the year.
You’re so lucky to be visiting all those amazing places. I understand the time disconnect.
Thank you for the comment on the meal. I’ve been cooking up a storm for the last 2 months and posting none of it. Forgot most of the tiny details. Keep meaning to post pics while memories of details are fresh. 🙂
Hopefully, I’ll get the upcoming Thanksgiving meal up in a timely fashion.
