Tuscan Ribollita White Bean Vegetable Soup, a hearty broth, beany, vegetable-packed Tuscany soup to beat the nippy cold weather.

Ribollita is a famous Tuscan bread soup, panade, porridge, or potage made with bread and vegetables, often from leftovers.

Can you freeze Tuscan bean soup?

The quick answer is: yes, you can! Of course, you’ll need good-quality freezer bags and a canning funnel.

What does ribollita mean in English?

Traditionally, ribollita (which is Italian for β€œtwice boiled”), was basically leftover minestrone soup that was reheated (or re-boiled, hence the name ribollita); however, chunks of crusty bread were added to the leftover soup before it was served.
