    I have loads of ribollita recipes and this is hands down the best one. The closest flavour and texture to the one I had in Florence. Definitely la mia ribollita preferita.

    This is a great hearty recipe. Although cavolo nero can be substituted out for other leafy greens e.g. curly kale, I really recommend sticking to cavolo nero/black kale where possible, as it's deep bitterness really helps this recipe. Don't skimp on the dried chilli, and don't let the bread catch on the pan!

    I used 2 cans of cannellini beans instead of using dried beans, I also used chilli powder instead of dried chillies. A very hearty soup. Needed a bit of flavour help so I also added 1 chicken stock cube. Great for winter when you want something filling and healthy. Tastes better the next day as the flavours develop

    This was decent but nothing special--I may have added too much bread and it made things a bit sludgy.
