SAVORY CAPPUCCINO with pumpkin and leek
It is said that it was a Capuchin friar who gave the name to the drink that for many of us represents a real morning ritual. Perhaps because, after asking for some milk to sweeten the overly intense taste of his coffee, he noticed that the color of the "new" blend was indeed similar to that of his tunic. When we think of Cappuccino, we imagine it in a moment of relaxation, for example in the early hours of Sunday, paired with a croissant or our favorite cake. Savory Cappuccino will be the ideal company for an equally relaxing moment, but it will surprise you with new colors and an irresistible taste: that of your favorite vegetable soup.
Tomato, peas, carrots, zucchini, and fennel... it is possible to make it with any flavor, but for our first Savory Cappuccino, we chose the Pumpkin and Leek Soup. Its warm color is reminiscent of the early days of autumn, but it also pairs perfectly with festive tables. Yes, because this recipe is as simple as it is spectacular: a treat for the eyes and the palate. It contains no caffeine, so it won't keep you awake all night, but it will still make you dream.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
1 jar of Pumpkin and Leek Soup Emilia Food Love
150 ml fresh whole milk
5-6 turmeric crackers with poppy seeds
2 tufts of rosemary
Extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper in grains
Salt
Method
- In a saucepan, heat the soup well. Meanwhile, heat the milk over medium heat. When it's warm, add a pinch of salt and then whip it with a milk frother until you obtain a nice and dense foam.
- Pour the soup into two cups, just like you would pour coffee for a cappuccino. Drizzle with olive oil and top it off with the milk foam on the surface.
- Garnish both cups with a tuft of rosemary, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and add the crunchy part: a "crumble" made by crumbling crackers, just before serving.
Tip
You can make cappuccino with all the Vegetable Soups by Emilia Food Love: you just need to choose your favorite flavor.

PAN PIZZA with peppers and cherry tomatoes
So many ways to define it, but only one unforgettable taste. Pan pizza, known as padellino pizza, or Piedmontese pan pizza, is unmistakable with its round shape, crispy crust, and soft, fluffy dough. Born in Piedmont, it has reached every corner of the globe—and it’s not stopping anytime soon.
Our pan pizza with peppers and cherry tomatoes is easy to prepare. We’ve got the base covered; all that’s left for you is to add the fresh toppings and enjoy every delicious bite.
AUTUMN BRUSCHETTA with extra virgin olive oil
Rustic and with humble origins, it tells a story of necessity and sharing. It is said that bruschetta was born from the need to make bread last when it was scarce, but today, it's one of the most beloved and versatile appetizers.
A dish for all ages, all tastes, and all seasons, but we imagine it with the colors, flavors and atmosphere of autumn.
PINSA with mortadella, pecorino cheese, and balsamic dressing
It is said that its name comes from the Latin verb “pinsère” which meant “to stretch”, and indeed the traditional and characteristic shape of pinsa is just that: stretched. Similar to pizza, but very different in both shape and flavor, pinsa is made through a long leavening process, a mix of flours, and a dough rich in water that gives it extraordinary digestibility.
Our pinsa with mortadella, pecorino, and Goccia Nera balsamic dressing is a colorful and flavorful delight, genuine and nutritious, that will win over both adults and children.
