My Slow Cooker Italian Summer Soup is the most wholesome and easy-to-follow soup recipe. The vivid, fresh aromas of summer in Italy meet the slow-cooked, comforting flavors of my Midwest background in this dish. This lovely soup is a fusion of the present and the past, inspired by my beloved Nonna’s gardens and the abundant zucchini, tomatoes, and basil harvests. It’s ideal for the days when the sweltering heat of summer is starting to fade and the cool, crisp air of fall is blowing in. Not only is it a celebration of the season’s harvest, but it also pays homage to tradition.
Serve this flavorful soup over some crusty bread, preferably a high-quality Italian baguette, so the bread can soak up the liquid. The bright, summery aromas of the soup are brought out to their fullest by a refreshing green salad dressed with a spicy vinaigrette and topped with a sprinkling of Parmesan. Pair it with some light-dressed spaghetti or a side of basic risotto for a heartier dinner.
