Abruzzese Spelled Soup

Preparation:

Preparation: First, prepare a light broth and cook the meat, ham bone, vegetables and spices in a large saucepan with about two liters of water. It will have to cook for about two hours on low heat. Skim the broth, set aside the meat (serve it as boiled or use it for stuffing and meatballs) and vegetables. In a pot, possibly earthenware, put the rinsed spelled and cover with water. Considering that cooked spelled doubles in volume, make sure you don't exceed half of the container. Cook over very low heat, adding the broth a ladle at a time for another two hours: in the end the soup should be quite thick. Add the vegetables and the ham bone, season with raw oil and serve piping hot.
