Method
- Prepare the broth: In a pot with plenty of water, add a zucchini, a carrot, celery stalks, an onion, and some Grana Padano rinds. Let it cook.
- While the broth is cooking, prepare the vegetables: In a large pan, heat abundant olive oil and sauté the other half of the onion. Add the pancetta (optional), then diced potatoes and shredded savoy cabbage. Stir.
- After the broth has cooked, add a ladle of broth to the pan with the vegetables, cover, and cook for about 10-15 minutes to soften the potatoes and cabbage.
- Add the rice to the pan. Continue to cook, adding more vegetable broth as needed until the rice is cooked al dente.
- Retrieve the vegetables used to make the broth (zucchini, carrot, celery, onion). Either blend them into a purée or dice them into small cubes. Add them to the soup.
- Add a generous handful of grated Grana Padano cheese, mix well, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, optionally with extra grated cheese.
