Gluten-Free Ribollita Soup
Ribollita is a famous Tuscan soup that is packed with vegetables and beans, as well as slightly stale Bread SRSLY Classic Gluten-Free Sourdough to help thicken the dish. Adding a parmesan rind to the cooking process is the secret weapon to getting a touch of umami flavor in each bite, but if you’re a plant-based eater, try adding 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast instead!
