Tuscany’s Ribollita Soup

This soup is derived from Italy’s “cucina povera”, or “peasant cooking”, a cuisine of necessity and circumstance. Waste not, want not. It’s made from cannellini beans, leftover vegetables and stale bread, Ribollita means reboiled.

Clockwise from top left: sautéing veggies, adding beans, broth, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, etc., adding chopped kale, bread slices are placed on top of the soup, drizzled with olive oil and topped with Parmesan cheese; put into a very hot oven till the bread is toasted and cheese melted. You put the bread in the bottom of your soup bowl and ladle the soup over it, delicious!

It sounds wonderful - and love the way you made the steps into a collage - bet you could do some variations of this with whatever was leftover in the fridge with the broth and tomatoes - and the wonderful sounding topping.

Thank you for your wonderful comments, I appreciate you stopping by. This soup could be made using so many different ingredients, I was lucky that I had everything in the recipe already at hand. It will be a recipe I will go to again and again, especially during the winter months.

[Gayle]

Oh, this sounds and looks absolutely delicious, Lou Ann! Wonderful collage! Love the shapes! :-)

[Babs]

It all looks quite delicious although I don't really want to think about food at the moment. We have been at a friends house for lunch and I don't think I am going to eat again for a week, such a delicious meal.

@gaylewood @onewing @littleconnie @joansmor Thank you! There’s just something about a steaming bowl of soup when it’s cold outside! This collage ended up on the PP, a nice surprise for me this morning. Thank you!

@onewing I know that feeling! It always amazes me that I can be hungry the next day but I always am. 😊

[Nicole Campbell]
