Not-quite-ina-garten's ribollita
Meat soups

This soup is kind of like magic. First of all it is incredibly flavorful with humble and easily accessible ingredients. Second, it's flexible. If you have vegetarians in the crowd you can leave off the pancetta or bacon and just use water instead of chicken stock. Third, this is a recipe to use up stale bread, which is always nice. If you have no bread to use up, no sweat, it's still good without the bread. I have adapted the Barefoot Contessa recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/ribollita-recipe.html) by skipping a step or two and adding the parmesan rind and bay leaf for flavor. I have made this many times for many people and all have loved it. Nothing is as hearty and wholesome as soup and this one is packed with veggies. Don't you feel better already?
