It's official, Italian cuisine is the most popular food in the world according to a 2019 study. According to these findings, pizza and pasta came out tops among 25,000 respondents in over 24 countries worldwide. 

So, if you want to get on board with the latest international food craze, there's no better place to start than at the beginning. 

Try one of these delicious Italian soups to get your love affair with Meditteranean cuisine in motion. 

1. Minestrone Soup

Minestrone soup is an all-time Italian favorite filled with chunky vegetables, pasta, and white beans in a rich tomato broth. It's best served with plenty of chunky Italian bread and one of our favorite vegetarian treats - basil pesto. 

2. Tuscan Soup with White Beans

Known as pizza soup thanks to fresh Marzano tomatoes, Tuscan soup explodes with flavors of garlic, fennel, and smoked paprika.

The kale and white beans add an extra healthful kick to this meal. 

3. Vellutata di Zucca

Get your daily dose of goodness with this healthful pumpkin soup. Vellutata di Zucca is a simple, yet delectable soup containing pumpkin, potatoes, and olive oil blended to a silky finish.

A dash of cream adds some luxury to this delicious fall favorite. 

4. Pasta e Ceci 

This is one of the most nutritious types of Italian soup with its hearty base of tomato, kale, and parmesan rind.

Add to that a healthy dose of pasta and chickpeas and you're all set with a tasty, flavorful, and filling meal. While it's technically a soup, Pasta e Ceci looks like a stew and is just as filling. 

5. Zuppa Di Vongole

Get your seafood fix with this clam-rich broth created from garlic, chili peppers, cherry tomatoes, and white wine. 

Lashings of fresh Italian parsley and loads of crusty bread complete the picture when dining on this wholesome soup. 

6. Buridda

Another one of the authentic Italian soups boasting a hearty dose of seafood, buridda is a borderline stew thanks to its chunky ingredients. 

Traditional ingredients include chunks of codfish cooked with pine nuts, capers, mushrooms, and olive oil but modern varieties include red mullet or monkfish.

Crabmeat, beets, anchovies, and celery can also make an appearance in this dish.  

7. Minestra di Pane

Minestra di pane is a traditional Tuscan dish. It's also called bread soup since it's usually made with day-old stale bread mixed with fresh garden vegetables.

Beans and black cabbage are the heroes of this dish, along with courgettes, celery, potatoes, onions, carrots, tomato paste, and olive oil.

Back in the day, people enjoyed Minestra di Pane on its own as a precursor to the main meal. The next day, it doubled as the base for traditional ribollata stew.
