Serves :  4-6  ›  Preparation:  15 mins  ›  Cook:  70mins
​Ingredients:
  • 250g Savoy cabbage, cut into strips
  • 250g Cavolo Nero, cut into strips (or use Swiss Chard with the white stalk removed)
  • 2 large, starchy potatoes cut into cubes, 1.5cm square
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 large red onion peeled
  • 2 large carrots
  • 15 sprigs of Italian parsley
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 4 large tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded, drained, and chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Seasoning
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 litre vegetable or chicken stock 
  • 50g Pancetta cubed, and lightly fried (optional)
  • I can white beans, cannelini or haricots blanc
  • 8 slices Ciabatta or country-style bread
  • Extra virgin olive oil and sea salt to serve
  • Soak the cabbage, Cavolo Nero and potatoes in a large bowl of cold water.
  • Roughly chop the celery, the onion, carrots and parsley together on a chopping board. Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over a medium heat and once the oil is warm, add the chopped ingredients to the pan and saute for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, and check the ingredients aren't sticking or burning. Add the chopped tomatoes and the tomato paste, stir, then cook for 5 minutes more.​
  • Add the vegetable or chicken stock to the stockpot, season with a little salt and pepper and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Drain the cabbage and potatoes and add to the stockpot, (also add the Pancetta if using). Cook over a medium heat for approx 45 minutes, adding more stock if needed. The soup should be rather thick. Add the beans 5 minutes before the soup is ready.
  • To serve: place a slice of bread layer into a hot soup bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt.
  • This soup is even better if kept overnight and reheated the following day.
