Ribollita

This didn't look very promising while it was cooking, but the end result was delicious. A robust vegetable soup/stew, vegetarian, and it just tasted right.

The instructions were sometimes a bit ambiguous, but it's a recipe that can manage some differences in interpretation.

The amount of cavolo nero given seemed ridiculously high, and unless it behaves completely different from boerenkool (which I used) or kale (which you will probably use), I recommend using much less. I used almost 1 pound instead of 4 1/2.
