It is so thick with the beans and the vegetables if you dont have the bread- leave it out. (a plus for any gluten intolerant individuals) This soup tastes better the next day and I think it would be great during the end harvest season to freeze and have during the fall. A great way to use up those veggies from the garden. Take care, BAM

Thanks for stopping by. Actually my favorite area in Italy we visited thus far was in Radda in Chianti. I guess now living in HK with the worlds largest population density I like to get away from the crowds and really enjoyed the laid back views of the countryside. I was also able to do this along the edges of the city of Siena and that was quite nice as well.

I'm sorry for my delayed response. For some reason you were in my spam inbox. Why did wordpress do that to one of my favorite foodies??? Stay cool in the aircon and keep on cooking and writing. Take care, BAM

So many delicious vegetables and the topping with the bread does make it a very hearty soup like stew. Guess what I found yesterday down the backstreets of Wanchai, a Philippine market store with all the goodies. I can't wait to try some of your delicious dishes, now that I can get the supplies.

Thanks Shumalia! Ribollita is great vegetarian dish to try. I am so excited! Guess what I am doing right now? I am soaking my chawal and urad ki dhui da for some lovely dosa. It is my first time so wish me luck and I hope you are around this week, I might have some questions. Take Care, BAM
