Ribollita

Years ago I was in Florence on holiday, and I was thoroughly enjoying the local cuisine. One item that caught my eye was a soup called "ribollita" with a seeming endless list of ingredients. I told Chef Jerry Pellegrino that I tried it a few times at different restaurants, and it was never the same way twice. Interestingly, the name "ribollita" means "re-boiled" soup, primarily because it was an improvised soup made from yesterday's left over minestrone. Standard ingredients include torn-up bread, white beans, garlic, a leafy green vegetable and tomatoes, and in all authentic recipes, a chunk of parmesan cheese rind.
