What it is

Twice-cooked bread soup with cavolo nero (Tuscan kale), cannellini beans, and seasonal vegetables. Thick, hearty, and deeply Tuscan.

Taste translation

If you like hearty vegetable stews – this is Tuscany’s most famous peasant dish. Thick, warming, soul food.

Zen's note

The name means “reboiled”; it’s even better the next day. This is what Tuscan farmers ate for centuries. Real food, real history.
