Pofi. Bread Soup

Pofi. Bread Soup

Bread was the basis of the diet of the people of Ciociaria region and Pofi.

It was baked in common ovens every two weeks and couldn't be wasted. Bread that became hard and stale was then reused cooked and as an ingredient in traditional dishes.

Bread Soup is made with stale bread with various vegetables and beans.

In some versions are added peppers cooked in a frying pan and some pigs’ trotters.
