   3                    Hard-boiled eggs, coarsely

   3       oz           Sopressata or other dried
                        -sausage, chopped
   4       oz           Cacciocavallo or mild
                        -provolone cheese, chopped
                        Freshly grated pecorino
                        -cheese
                        Lovage leaves or chopped

  Heat the olive oil in a soup pot, add the onion, celery and celery tops;
  cook over low heat until softened, about 8 minutes.  Add the hot broth and
  salt and bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes.
  
  Prepare the Italian toasts.  Lightly brown the 6 slices of Italian bread in
  a 400 F oven until golden on both sides.  Brush with olive oil on one side.
  
  Place the Italian toasts in the bottom of 6 soup bowls.  Divide the eggs,
  sausage, and cacciocavallo cheese evenly among the 6 servings and place on
  top of the bread.  Bring the soup to a boil and ladle while hot into the
  bowls.  Sprinkle with the grated pecorino cheese and lovage leaves (or
  chopped celery tops).
  
  Serves 6.
