This ribollita was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have added more garlic and oregano next time. However, the soup was still hearty and filling, and I would definitely make it again with some adjustments.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ribollita turned out watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, but the soup just didn't come together. I was really disappointed.
