🇮🇹 Italy recipe

Ribollita

The ultimate Tuscan comfort food, ribollita literally means 'reboiled' because this thick bread soup is traditionally made a day ahead and reheated, causing the stale bread to break down and thicken the soup into a rich, porridge-like consistency. Cavolo nero (lacinato kale) and cannellini beans are the essential ingredients.
