This looks so wonderfully hearty and warming. And I love the addition of ditalini in it! Mmm…..

Aren’t ditalini fun? One of my very favorites

This looks wonderful! Just the ticket for our cold winter days. We had continuous snow for the Thanksgiving weekend and I love to make soups this time of year. If you can’t find veal on the bone, would beef work okay?

Absolutely! We just don’t get beef here, so everything is veal.

Yes just right for a wintery day!!! So you eat the soup separately …or does it not matter?

You can do it how you like, Anne! I usually chop up pieces of meat, potatoes, and carrots and mix everything together; P eats them simultaneously, just from two different bowls. Whatever suits your fancy

I think your celery is pretty much what my farmer grows – same type of thing. This looks wonderful. It’s pretty similar to pot roast in a way. I love things like this.

Great recipe! And I'm intrigued by the Ace celery. I've never seen it here in Milan. When I had my mother-in-law's bollito for the first time I didn't really recognize all the cuts of meat floating there so I stuck my fork in and hoped for the best. To my horror, what came out was a giant grey tongue. Yuck! Milanese Masala’s last blog post..A message for Mumbai I promise if you come to my house, the only tongue you'll bite into is yours, mistakenly. Blech. Er, to each her own!

We have a similar dish here - perfect for those chilly days. Even though it doesn't get as cold here as it does in PA, like you my cold tolerance has definitely decreased. Mary’s last blog post..Bubbles are good Isn't it crazy, Mary? I blame the humidity here though, and these stone walls!

It’s like the Italian version of my “Happy Soup.” Kind of. I love the presentation!

Hee hee…happy soup indeed Nino!

Simple always works for me. You know, I still can’t get used to eating one thing at a time, like pasta or rice……alone…..and then meat or fish…….alone. This was obviously someone’s clever way to extend a lunch or dinner break.

*Very* clever. If you really ate this in stages like a typical meal, it would definitely take hours
