Zuppa valdostana


ZUPPA VALDOSTANA
Cabbage and Cheese Soup 

   Ingredients


1 small Savoy cabbage (about 1 lb.)
8 oz. Fontina
1 qt. beef broth
3 oz. butter
slices of country bread (about l/2-in. thick)
salt

 

   Preparation

 
How to make the zuppa valdostana: Clean and wash the leaves of the Savoy cabbage well. Cook them in boiling water for 10 min. Drain and cut into julienne. Cut Fontina into thin slices. Bring the beef broth to a boil. Melt the butter over a low flame.

In an ovenproof casserole (preferably terracotta) alternate layers of bread, cabbage and Fontina until all ingredients are used up, making sure to finish with slices of bread. Drizzle the top layer of bread with melted butter.

Gently pour the boiling broth over it and bake in a low oven (about 325ºF) for about half an hour, until the top layer is crisp. Serve the zuppa valdostana hot.
