Directions

150 min.
1. Step

Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

2. Step

Add in the diced tomatoes, kale, and cabbage into the pot. Stir well, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

3. Step

Add the cannellini beans and vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for another 30 minutes.

4. Step

Gradually add in the torn bread pieces, stirring constantly to prevent the bread from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, until the bread is completely saturated and starts to break down.

5. Step

Serve your Ribollita hot, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and accompanied by a slice of crusty bread.
