Ribollita

written by Claire Grech November 8, 2018

Ribollita - a Tuscan soup, with the literal name meaning ‘reboiled’. There are many variations but the main ingredients always include bread (which I won’t be adding), cannellini beans and inexpensive vegetables such as carrots, celery and onion. Like most of the Tuscan cuisine, the soup has peasant origins. It was originally made by reheating vegetable soup from the previous day.

Ribollita - una zuppa Toscana. Ci sono molte varianti, ma gli ingredienti principali sono sempre pane (non aggiungerò alla mia ricetta) fagioli cannellini e verdure poco costose come carote, sedano e cipolla. Come la maggior parte della cucina Toscana, la zuppa ha origini contadine. È stata originariamente fatta da riscaldare zuppa di verdure del giorno precedente.
