A SHORT HISTORY OF THIS DISH:
This soup is called “Ribollita” because, originally, the remains of a thin soup after any day were heated in a pan of earthenware, sprinkled on the surface with slim slices of onion, black pepper and olive oil. It withdrew from the fire when the onion had become golden and served hot, without cheese. However, today, one of the most popular “Ribollite” is that we referred the recipe.

1. In a large pot heat the olive oil and add carrot, onion and celery chopped.

3. Cook, then add the black cabbage, beans (those must be kept dry bath by night before) and cover with two quarts of cold water. Salt and cook covered for about 2 hours.

4. Spread on bottom of a large earthenware pot the slices of bread, pour over the soup, place in oven at 180 degrees and cook it au gratin.

5. Before serving, sprinkle it with black pepper ground at the moment, season with two rounds of oil.
