Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Have you tried Ribollita before?
I have just recently tried this delicious bean soup for the first time and I’m in love with it.
It is so simple, packed with lots of vegetables, beans and bread.
Oh, and lots of good quality olive oil. It all sounds amazing doesn’t it?
I’ve been making Ribollita every week now. It’s become like a tradition of ours.
I love how comforting and heart-warming it tastes, there are so many different flavours but so well combined. 
Don’t forget to soak the beans overnight though. It’ll make your life much easier.
Here’s how I made my version of Ribollita.
