(Family Features) Savory and satisfying, comforting ingredients can transform simple recipes into mouthwatering meals. As temperatures fall, people look for comforting foods to warm the soul. For inspiration, consider Italian ingredients to help make homemade lunches easy and satisfying.

To get ready for weekday lunches, Kale Grilled Cheese sandwiches with Grana Padano PDO paired with hot soup and a Fall Grain Bowl with Prosciutto featuring Prosciutto di Parma PDO and filled with your favorite veggies are tasty options for discovering the possibilities of high-quality Italian ingredients.

These authentic products are Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certified, a highly esteemed classification for European foods that have been produced according to the same traditional methods in a defined geographic region for centuries.

PDO-certified foods offer a guarantee of quality and authenticity. Only products made following traditional methods within defined production areas, under strict supervision and using carefully monitored ingredients qualify for PDO certification from the European Union. Among these artisan products, you’ll find some of the world’s most delicious cheeses and cured meats.

For your comfort food cravings, on an appetizer plate, drape thinly sliced, savory Prosciutto di Parma PDO and chunks of Grana Padano PDO to complement your favorite nuts and olives. Both pair beautifully with fruity red, white or sparkling wines, though they also are enjoyable with your favorite beer or soft drink. While these tastes of Italy can be enjoyed on their own, they are also capable of transforming simple dishes into decadent meals.

Ready for an easy dish that hits the spot, here’s a recipe for a delicious homemade potato soup:

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup of milk or heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp of butter

  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  6. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot with your desired toppings.

  • Stir in some chopped kale or spinach for added nutrients.
