This classic Tuscan ribollita is the ultimate Italian comfort food for a chilly evening. A thick, nourishing soup belonging to the high-protein category, it relies on store-cupboard staples like cannellini beans and tinned tomatoes, elevated by the savoury depth of pancetta and fresh rosemary. As the beans simmer and break down, they create a beautifully creamy texture that makes this dish feel much more indulgent than its healthy ingredients suggest.
Traditionally served as a way to use up leftover bread, this modern version uses toasted breadcrumbs to achieve that signature rustic consistency. It is an excellent choice for a filling midweek meal or a batch-cook lunch, providing plenty of fibre and sustained energy. Serve each bowl with a liberal drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a dusting of salty parmesan to bring out the bright Mediterranean flavours.
