About the dish

Minestra di sedani, also called minestra aquilana di sedani , is a hearty, celery-based soup made with onions, lard, tomatoes, and rice, traditionally prepared in Abruzzo, particularly in the area around Aquila. Once finished, minestra must be thick and dense, and the rice cooked al dente. Before serving, minestra di sedani is generously sprinkled with pecorino cheese, whose strong flavor perfectly rounds this nourishing soup.
