Ribollita is a famous Tuscan hearty soup made with bread, vegetables and sometimes meat. This version of Italian Ribollita Soup is made with ground pork and lots of vegetables.

ITALIAN RIBOLLITA SOUP WITH GROUND PORK33

Ribollita is a famous Tuscan hearty soup made with bread, vegetables and sometimes meat. The leftover bread is used to add body and thicken the soup.

It also has inexpensive vegetables, like carrots, spinach, cannellini beans, garlic, zucchini and potatoes.

It is actually made with vegetables that are available, so feel free to make this recipe your own by adding or removing vegetables as you like.

There are many, many versions of this Ribollita soup out there. Some of them have only vegetables, but some of them use Italian mild sausage, ground beef or pork.

I even saw some versions with bacon.

However, my version of this recipe has ground pork, because I am bossy in the kitchen (you already know that, right?) and I like to put my own stamp of flavors on the foods I make.

As I said before, use whatever meat you have around and play with the flavors you like.

Serve the soup with shaved parmesan on top and a glass of white wine next to it. It is a great soup for cold days, very fulfilling and delicious.

I always believed that soups are healing the body and also the spirit. I find them important in any diet and great for keeping you full.

I love them in any form, cold, hot, simple or more complicated. I cook a soup almost every week, year around.

A soup is a great meal for children as a good way to experience lots of vegetables and flavors at the same time.

How to make the Italian Ribollita Soup With Ground Pork:

For this soup I put together few ingredients: white wine, already cooked beans ( you can use cans of beans to make your like easier), frozen spinach, potatoes, red onion, garlic, celery, parsley root and carrot, zucchini, chopped tomatoes, ground pork.

I cleaned and chopped the root vegetables, the celery, garlic and onion.

I also mixed the ground pork with the white wine. Yes, with the white wine. In a soup pot, I heated up some olive oil and placed the meat inside.

I cooked the meat stirring once in a while, until the liquid evaporated. I added the chopped vegetables.

I continued to stir and cook the vegetables together with the meat.  When the vegetables became translucent, I added the frozen spinach.

After I added water to the pot, I also added the chopped zucchini.

The tomatoes went also in the “pool ” together with the cubed potatoes. I seasoned with salt.

While the soup was simmering, I prepared the bread croutons. Left over good bread is great for this recipe.

The bread in the picture is the bread I make at home very often. If interested, here is the recipe of the easiest no kneading bread that you will ever need.

So, I cut the bread in cubes and placed them on a baking sheet.

I drizzled extra virgin olive oil over the bread, salt, oregano, rosemary and tossed it, squeezing to moisten.

I toasted the bread at 350F/180C, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crunchy, for about 15–18 minutes. Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn.

While the bread was in the oven, I continued working on the soup. Because the vegetables were already cooked, especially the potatoes, I added the beans, a little bit of vinegar and corrected the taste with salt and pepper.

The original soup had bread in it that is boiled together with the rest of the vegetables. I kind of disliked the idea, so my version had added bread croutons when I served it.

I kind of like the texture and the crunchiness of the croutons in the soup.

If you want to go really fancy, shave some Parmesan cheese on top of each bowl of soup when you serve it.

It definitely adds a lot of flavor and texture and it is delicious.

Voila! Here is the soup, not too complicated, right? I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!

Now, I am going to grab a bowl and have some!

    I had some ground pork and wanted to make a soup. It was a hit. It was hard to get the spices just right. One friend said it was bland, another too salty. I wish it was a little more exact with that. Also, I used it as a crock pot recipe and it was good that way.
