Cooking 3

Before I left for Italy I became interested in soup, mainly the creamy potato and clam chowder kind. When I got to Italy I figured I'd try my hand at it and it's not too hard, just supply consuming haha.

I've taken the parsley out of my recipe since I feel that it adds no value to the dish. In Italy they don't have bacon or bacon bits so I've been putting pancetta and garlic in a pan to mimic the taste and smell, and it's not too far off. Most recently, to make it creamier, I added a cup and a half of cream to the dish and I got a consistency a little more familiar.

The first step is to brown the onions, but once I burned them and the whole soup was slightly grey instead of a white-yellow haha!
