Ribollita - Giada De Laurentiis image

I haven't made this yet but it looked wonderful! A good hearty soup from Everyday Italian. Giada makes this when cleaning out her frig before items can go bad. If you don't have herbes de Provence, recipes available. I normally don't have rind left around, so I'll just add the cheese. If someone has a better idea, please note for us.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling on bread
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
4 ounces pancetta, chopped
2 garlic cloves, 1 minced and 1 whole
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 lb frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
1 tablespoon herbes de provence
3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable bouillon)
1 bay leaf
1 piece parmesan cheese, rind 3 inches
4 -6 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise (or any old bread)
grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, pancetta, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook until the onion is golden brown and the pancetta is crisp, about 7 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and stir until dissolved.
  • Add tomatoes and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits.
  • Add the spinach, beans, herbs, stock, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Drizzle the ciabatta halves with olive oil. Toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with the whole garlic clove.
  • Place the toasts in the serving bowls and ladle the soup over the toasts.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pancetta from this recipe. It was still delicious! The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the broth was very flavorful.

I was a bit skeptical about using kale in a soup, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor and texture.

This is one of those recipes that gets better the next day. The flavors meld together beautifully, and the soup is even more delicious reheated.
