If you’ve ever wanted to make Ribollita soup from Tuscany but thought it was too complicated, we got you. Today we are making a simplified quicker version that’s still delicious and hearty.
Ribollita soup is a traditional Italian dish from Tuscany known for its hearty and comforting nature. The name “ribollita” translates to “reboiled,” referencing the soup’s practice of being reheated and enjoyed over multiple days to enhance the flavors.
This thick and rustic soup features a base of cannellini beans, vegetables like kale, carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes, and is thickened with chunks of bread.
However, preparing ribollita soup requires some planning, as cannellini beans need to be soaked overnight before cooking, which adds to the overall preparation time. Once soaked, the beans take about 1.5 to cook until tender. After that, you need to factor in the 1.5 hrs taken to prepare the actual Ribollita soup.
This recipe cuts that time in half by using canned cannellini beans, and a faster method.
If you, however, prefer using dry cannellini beans, you can soak them the night before and cook them before you start making the soup.
Let me show you how easy we made it for you to recreate this usually complicated recipe. You will still have to wait for the time to simmer, but during that time you can do other chores, or sit and relax.
