Happy Hump Day, Soupers!\u00a0 So, shortly before the holiday season began, everywhere I turned, Instagram was abuzz with stunning photos of Ribollita<\/em>.\u00a0 For the newly initiated like me, Ribollita<\/em> or simply \u2018reboiled\u2019 in Italian, <\/em>is one of Tuscany\u2019s greatest harvest dishes. It\u2019s made of day-old bread, white beans and vegetables and it\u2019s oh, so comforting.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s origins are believed to date back to the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

On a windy, chilly day here in Lausanne, we just had to attempt to make our own version, and boy, are we glad that we did!\u00a0 With the weather outside hovering just around freezing, this has to be the most comforting soup I\u2019ve tasted in a long time \u2026 so good!<\/p>\n

When the kiddies want seconds, you know that you have a winner. Just a couple of observations in preparation. First, pick a leafy green like a mustard, collard green or even kale. In my case, I selected Cima Rapa<\/em> because it\u2019s in season right now in Italy and very easily accessible to us in Switzerland.\u00a0 Second, the recipe calls for pancetta, but if you don\u2019t have any, don\u2019t use bacon. Instead take sausage because what you want is the fat off of the sausage.<\/p>\n

Finally, make the cannellini white beans from scratch because you will want to add the aquafaba distilled from the cooked beans to the soup! Here, you can soak the bean overnight in water; discard the beans that float to the top, rinse and cook the beans in water, salt, pepper on low on your cooktop.\u00a0 The longer you cook them the better but roughly four hours, otherwise they get mushy. Since this dish contains no meat (except if you add a chicken broth), the bean\u2019s aquafaba provides an amazing flavor.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s all that we are going to say about this amazing dish! Definitely, it will be added to our normal lunch or dinner rotation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
