Italian · Western Europe
STOVETOP
7/10
Tuscan bread soup with cannellini beans, lacinato kale, and vegetables, thickened by stale bread and reboiled.
Why It Works
Stale bread absorbs the broth and breaks down, acting as a natural thickener. Reboiling ('ribollita') melds the flavors and creates a porridge-like consistency.
Key Ingredients
cannellini beans
lacinato kale
stale bread
