  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook 10 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Add carrot and celery. Cook another 10 minutes. Add garlic, cook 2 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Crush tomatoes into the soffritto by hand. Add rosemary sprigs and Parmesan rind if using.

  4. 4

    Add half the beans whole. Puree the other half with a little stock and add it too — this thickens the soup naturally.

  5. 5

    Pour in stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add cavolo nero, simmer 15 more minutes until completely tender.

  7. 7

    Add bread, stir gently. Simmer 5 more minutes. The bread should partially melt into the soup.

  8. 8

    Season with salt. Leave to cool overnight.

  9. 9

    The next day: re-boil (ribollita means 're-boiled'). Adjust consistency with water or stock. Finish with a generous pour of your best olive oil.

All the depth and richness of the classic French braise, made entirely with mushrooms. The wine matters. Use something you would drink.
