LENTIL SOUP WITH DITALINI (AKA, NEW YEAR'S SOUP)
This is a traditional New Year's soup in the Italian tradition (though it hits the spot on any cold winter's night!). Eat it at midnight along with some grilled Italian sausages and have GOOD LUCK the rest of the year! ;) This recipe can also be made totally vegetarian by omitting the pancetta/ham.
