Dreary evenings like this require a bowl of bone-warming soup. We’re not talking about some wimpy chicken noodle. Tonight, we need a bowl filled to the brim with Acquacotta, a vegetarian Italian delight.

Crown each serving with a thick piece of crusty bread for dipping and pop the yolk on a poached egg to remind you of sunnier days. Click here for the recipe.
