I had it for the first time on my last trip to Florence last June, and I've been dreaming about it since. The cool weather's been making me crave it more so!

I tried the Hearth version too and I really didn't think it came close to the Italian original. I've seen it as a special before at Caccio e Pepe that might be worth checking out...

Id recommend finding Giulio Bugialli's recipe from his first cookbook, classic italain, and going down to the Union Square market and buying some tuscan Kale and swiss chard as key ingredients for your own great ribollita. You would need some nice canellini beans and pork products too, as well as some non-sourdough tuscan bread, some peppery new-crop olive oil, which should be coming onto the market shortly, and some good parmesan cheese but its a great fall project.

This gives it a tasty crust which is eccentuated by special Olive Oil and crushed black pepper. Sun Nov 05 16:01:35 -0800 2006 1953542 51141 muro 2 2007844 Um...how do you fry soup? I think you have Ribollita confused with something else..or please explain. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to even come close to this soup, is to make it yourself. Of course I haven't tried yet, but every time I see it on a menu in NYC I order it, and it always sucks and is nothing like Ribollita I have in Florence.
