Thistle Soup

How to make the Thistle Soup:

Clean the card, delete the external ribs, cut into chunks and put the other in water acidulated with lemon juice. Boil plenty of water, pour in the flour, add a pinch of salt and thistles and cook for about 15 minutes.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the drained thistles and let them cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, pour the boiling broth and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes. Cut the bread into cubes, toast under the grill of the oven and sprinkle the soup with cheese.
