Ajucche soup from the Susa Valley

Ajucche soup appears as a rustic soup with a pale green color, dotted with freshly picked wild herbs. Its aroma recalls mountain meadows in spring, with delicate vegetal notes and a warm base of broth and bread. On the palate it is soft and comforting, with the light sweetness of the ajucche intertwined with the velvety texture of potatoes or soaked bread. It is a simple and nourishing first course, often served hot on the cool days of the Alpine valleys.
