NOTES : This is a shepherds soup from the Maremma, originally made with the wild herbs and grasses that could be found on the steep inhospitable hillsides where only sheep or goats could graze, but making full use of the by-product of cheese-making, fresh ricotta. Dont worry if the soup has a curdled appearance, this is quite normal and wont affect the taste. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
