Ribollita Soup on a Jenn-Air induction cook top.
Ribollita is a Tuscan pottage made with bread and vegetables. The main ingredients always include leftover bread, cannellini beans, and inexpensive vegetables such as carrot, celery, Lacinato kale (aka Tuscan kale), and onion.
I made it for the sleep event at Mrs.G’s, because it includes sleep supporting ingredients. I held it for two hours at a simmer setting on the Jenn-Air induction cooktop. It didn’t scorch and didn’t dry out. Perfection
If possible, make the soup the day before. It will taste even better.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped

- 4 cups cooking liquid from the beans, vegetable stock, or water
- 1 pound chopped kale

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-low heat saute onion, carrot, celery and garlic in olive oil. Add some salt and pepper and cook very gently, occasionally stirring, until vegetables are soft but haven’t changed color.
- Add the tomatoes and herbs and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add beans, water or beans cooking liquid, rosemary, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cover and cook, stirring once or twice to break up the tomatoes, until the flavors meld, about 30 minutes.
