Oh, That's How You Make Le Virtu Soup!

The four-star team over at Del Posto posted this video to Youtube Monday, April 30th, one day before the Pagan tradition calls for the making of Le Virtu soup on May 1st.

It's sort of like spring cleaning... your pantry.

"Le Virtu is a traditional soup from Abruzzo and the city of Teramo. According to the ancient pagan rites (and Waverly Root), on May 1st, seven virgins are to each bring seven ingredients to the city square, at which point those ingredients are combined to create a dish with 49 different elements. The soup marries winter and spring, and allows for the cleaning out of cupboards to welcome the impending bounty of the new season."
