If you can't go to Florence, bring Florence to you!! I first had a similar soup to this formula about 10 years ago. I've gone through a few revisions (and years) before advent up with the soup you now see listed below.
If you haven't been to Florence, allow me to give you a very brief lesson. Florence is the most populated city in the Tuscany region. It is known for it's history and importance during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, in general for it's art and architecture. Florence also became the eventual home of the great artisan Michelangelo.
12 OUNCES EQUALS HOW MANY CUPS
That being said about Florence, maybe you can see how this soup was inspired; key-words like Renaissance and Michelangelo invoked me to create this recipe. It may not be a masterpiece or responsible for a re-birth of soup. What is Does do is lend an primary flavor with hints of Florence, bringing a petite slice of this Italian province right into your kitchen!
