This recipe was born out of an urge to create a filling, flavorful and a healthy soup for the winter. I was inspired by a similar soup that my grandmother used to make inside a pizza oven. I quickly got to work and came up with this recipe.

Tip: It’s not necessary to marinate the meat, but doing so will add a greater depth of flavor to the soup.
