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

I always believed that soups heal  the body and also the spirit. I find them essential in any diet and  great for keeping you full and satisfied.
