Ribollita

Literally meaning "twice boiled," ribollita is a traditional Italian soup originally made from leftover minestrone. It is perfect as its own creation, however, after one taste you can absolutely see why it is no longer simply finding a use for the contents of your fridge. Thickened with slices of bread, this soup feels like it’s wrapping your stomach in a thick, Grandma-knit wool scarf with every bite. To say it "hit the spot" when I ate it would be an understatement. I was shocked I’d ever survived a winter without it, frankly. After your first bowl of this simple, aromatic vegetable stew, you’ll wonder the same thing. See all stew recipes.
