Ribolita

One of my favorite soups, Ribollita, served with homemade croutons and asiago cheese.


Homemade croutons are a great way to use stale homemade bread. Just cut the bread in cubes drizzle with olive oil (I like to warm the oil on the stovetop with a garlic clove first) and dust with salt. Then broil until nicely browned. Mmmm.

You can add herbs, but I didn't want the flavor of the croutons to compete with the flavor of the soup.
