How to Make Tasty Spring Soup Called Garmugia

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced pancetta (or omit for vegetarian version) and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving rendered fat in the pot.
  2. Add finely chopped onion and carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in ground veal (or omit for vegetarian version) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Add vegetable broth (or meat broth if using meat) and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, peas (fresh or frozen), and chopped asparagus. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes and asparagus are tender.
  5. Stir in chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, etc.). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with the reserved crispy pancetta (if using) and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
