Zuppa Ricasoli

Looking for a warm and comforting recipe that's incredibly quick and easy to make? Check out my latest article in The Florentine for Zuppa Ricasoli, a Tuscan soup with butter beans, sausage, pancetta and cabbage. I have to say that I usually run a mile when the words 'cabbage' and 'soup' are used in the same sentence but this really was delicious and healthy too! If you can't find Tuscan sausages, anything herby and garlicy, like a Lincolnshire or Toulouse would be great. A lot of supermarkets now stock sausages with fennel which would work fantastically too. Equally, for the cheesy toasts, there's no point in spending a fortune on Asiago cheese, a good cheddar would be just as good!

    Oh boy Beth! That looks Fabulously tasty. I am in a real soup mode these days and I think this might just hit the spot! Thanks! Oh, and cabbage in soup is magic, pure taste magic. Never underestimate it's power to lift a simple soup to the sublimely delicious!

      Thanks Marie! Not sure where my phobia of cabbage soup came from really! Needless to say I've been converted!

      Thanks Stephanie, it's become a staple in our household now. And all toast is better with a mountain of melted cheese on top!
