This Italian vegetable soup is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just 40 minutes from start to table. The porcini mushrooms add such deep, earthy flavor that makes it taste like you've been simmering it all day, and they're packed with antioxidants too. What I love most is how simple it is to throw together the soffritto mix does all the hard work for you and then you just top each bowl with a poached egg and some crusty bread. It's comforting, nourishing, and honestly costs very little to make.
