About Shell soup

Shell Soup is a comforting dish traditionally made with pasta shells simmered in a flavorful broth, often enriched with vegetables, herbs, and sometimes proteins like chicken or beans. Originating from Italian cuisine, it has gained popularity worldwide due to its simplicity and versatility. The soup typically contains a base of onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, providing essential vitamins and antioxidants. Pasta shells offer carbohydrates for energy, while the addition of beans or lean meats can boost protein levels, making it a well-rounded meal option. However, the sodium content in pre-made broths or added seasoning can be high, so opting for low-sodium varieties is a healthier choice. Shell Soup is ideal for cold days, offering both warmth and nutritional benefits in one bowl. It’s easy to customize, accommodating dietary preferences or seasonal ingredients.
