Crespelle in Brodo (crepes in broth)

3 Italian Sisters

photo (11)This elegant soup brings back heartwarming memories of my mother as she lovingly prepared this for us the same way her mother did.  Our grandmother was born n a small town in the province of Chieti in the Abruzzo region of Italy.   This delicious soup is a specialty of the region and made with light homemade crepes that are filled with small bits of pecorino romano cheese and black pepper. They are rolled in a cigar shape and float in a rich homemade chicken broth.  Crespelle in Brodo is a glorious bowl of soup that will warm your heart and your belly and one that truly symbolizes my mother’s style of cooking, “simple and elegant”.   Happy Mother’s Day Mama ♥
