Love this one – first time we have made it this winter (bragging to the in-laws about it – now I am cooking it!) and we call this “fridge” ribollita. Today’s variation:

- We didn’t have kale, so we subbed in broccoli raab.
- Didn’t have bread, so we subbed garlic mashed potatoes.
- Didn’t want to add another half-full quart jar to the fridge, so we dumped the whole quart of tomato sauce and cut down the broth to 6 cups.
- And double the garlic. Always.

[...] away, I decided to keep the food for the shindig as easy as I could, and though I hadn’t made this recipe before, figured it was simple enough and fairly straightforward and how could you really go wrong [...]

This soups certainly does sound tasty. I do not know if I could wait three days to make a soup though…

Thanks for visiting my site and helping me to find yours. It’s beautiful here!
Peasant food is the best because it’s simple. The freshest ingredients, but few. I love it.
Your dish is authentic and I’d like a bowl of it right now

Peasant food is comforting , soothing and always delicious. Add a piece of bread like you did and we both could eat this forever. It’s happy food.

Some of my favorite dishes are peasant dishes from my grandmother and my husband’s grandmother. They would brush them off as “leftovers,” or “nothing special,” but that’s just it they’re extra special because they make you feel so good when you eat them.

This sounds like my kind of soup. I know what you mean about peasant food, I think a majority of Maltese food are considered peasant dishes.

Hola! I didn’t know about Ribollita… the name makes me giggle!!! This one seems heavier than the Cocido… 3 days cooking is a lot!
