This dish is inspired by a recipe from Paul Bertolli, renowned chef responsible for some of Chez Panisse and Oliveto's best dishes. The base of the soup is incredibly simple and healthy, yet surprisingly hearty and satisfying. I added the truffle oil, parmesan, and pumpkin seeds for a little variety, but you can play around with your toppings of choice. This soup will easily become your mid-week staple and tastes even better for days to come.
