Traditionally, this soup is prepared ahead of time and portions are heated up in a saucepan or pot with extra olive oil, as needed. Hence its name, “reboiled”.

This is a thick vegetable, bean and bread soup with a soft texture. Cavolo nero is a dark green cabbage very typical of Tuscany, but can be substituted with kale or Savoy cabbage.
