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.

This soup was a total disaster. It was watery and flavorless, and the bread was completely soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my ribollita turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor. I guess I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

This ribollita was amazing! The flavors were rich and complex, and the bread added a wonderful texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

Meh. This soup was just okay. I've had better. The flavors were kind of bland and the bread was soggy. I won't be making this again.

The ribollita was good, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better ribollita at Italian restaurants. I think I'll stick to eating it out instead of making it at home.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning and maybe some additional vegetables. I'll probably try a different ribollita recipe next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of beans, vegetables, and bread in a soup, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ribollita was hearty and flavorful, and the bread added a nice texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

Not bad for a weeknight meal. The soup was easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially liked the crispy bread topping. Would recommend!

This ribollita was a labor of love, but it was well worth the effort. The soup was incredibly flavorful and comforting, with a perfect balance of vegetables and beans. The bread added a nice touch of heartiness. Will definitely be making this again!

I've been cooking Giada De Laurentiis' ribollita for years, and it never disappoints. The flavors are rich and complex, and the bread adds a wonderful texture. I often add a bit of sausage or pancetta for an extra boost of flavor.

Ribollita was a delightful journey through the flavors of Tuscany. The combination of beans, vegetables, and bread was hearty and comforting, while the addition of kale and herbs brought a fresh, vibrant touch. Simply delicious!
