16 slices stale country-style or sourdough bread
1 clove garlic, unpeeled and halved
Olive oil
12 to 14 slices pancetta or bacon, coarsely chopped
1 (4-ounce) can anchovy fillets in oil
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
7 ounces fontina cheese, grated
5 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small bunch fresh sage, leaves only

RIBOLLITA (REBOILED ITALIAN CABBAGE SOUP)



Ribollita (Reboiled Italian Cabbage Soup) image

Ribollita means twice-cooked, or 'reboiled,' in Italian. A white bean stock is livened up with greens, tomatoes, and potatoes with added slices of toasted bread. The soup should be refrigerated overnight. All you'll have to do the next day is reboil it. Allow time for soaking the beans.

Time 5h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups dry cannellini beans
4 cups water
3 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
5 cloves garlic, minced
4 sage leaves
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup olive oil
2 onions, diced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 large stalks celery, chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 ½ cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 bunch Swiss chard, trimmed and chopped
1 bunch kale, trimmed and chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices French bread, lightly toasted
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese for topping
½ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Sort and rinse the beans before placing them in a large pot with the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 5 minutes. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 1/2 hours. Drain.
  • Place the beans, chicken broth, garlic, sage leaves, bay leaves, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Cool. Remove 1 cup of beans. Discard the bay leaves and sage leaves. Blend the remaining bean mixture with a hand mixer until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until transparent, about 10 minutes. Combine the carrots, celery, potatoes, cabbage, Swiss chard, and kale with the onions. Stir in the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and cook until greens have wilted, stirring at least once, about 20 minutes. Stir in the pureed bean mixture, and cook 40 minute until the mixture thickens. Stir in the reserved beans. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add the toasted bread slices; cook until bread is soaked, about 10 minutes longer. Cool, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Reheat the soup over low heat until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve each serving garnished with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbages for a more complex flavor. Try savoy, red, or napa cabbage.
  • Add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • Use a good quality Italian bread for the croutons. A crusty bread will hold up better in the soup.
  • If you don't have time to make your own croutons, you can use store-bought croutons.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sage butter on top. The sage butter adds a delicious savory flavor to the soup.

Italian bread and cabbage soup with sage butter is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this soup a try.
