This is the closest I have found to my Mom’ Sicilian recipe. I tweaked it a bit for my family’s taste but it is perfect as is. Simple to make and delicious.

My girlfriend made this soup the other night for a ladies' dinner and it was scrumptious! We all asked for the recipe, and I can't wait to make it for my company this weekend.
