- In Italy, zuppa often refers to a thicker, hearty dish eaten as a main course, whereas a lighter starter soup is more commonly called brodo.
- Traditional tagliolini are often made with a high proportion of egg, making them richer and more golden than the noodles found in American chicken noodle soup.
