At our house, Brodo was basically a cozy chicken soup.
The boiled meats were served at the table, and honestly, as a child, it didn’t seem very appealing; But as I grew older, I came to appreciate Brodo a lot more.
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots
- 2 sticks celery
- 1 onion

Instructions:
- Clean your vegetables and fill a large pot 3/4 full of water.
Cooking:
- Add all the ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Buon Appetito!”
