Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling on bread
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 4 ounces pancetta, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, 1 minced and 1 whole
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pound frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans, drained
  • 1 tablespoon herbs de Provence
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 (3-inch) piece Parmesan rind
  • 4 to 6 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise or 1 loaf, sliced
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, pancetta, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion is golden brown and the pancetta is crisp, about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir until dissolved. Add tomatoes and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Add the spinach, beans, herbs, stock, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Drizzle the ciabatta halves with olive oil. Toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with the whole garlic clove. Place the toasts in the serving bowls and ladle the soup over the toasts. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.

    I registered just to comment on how good this was.... I substituted the spinach for cavalo nero but kept everything else the same. It's amazing on much flavour comes from that Parmesan rind.... This is def a keeper!

    So great! I had everything to make this, from my husband's homemade pancetta, to my canned homegrown tomatoes. Easy and luscious. You can probably add your garden vegies, like zucchini, but remember to never throw away the parm rind--freeze it forever for a dish like this.

    Unbelievably delicious and not difficult to make!! I made two changed: I used fresh kale in place of the spinach and used 4 cups of broth instead of 3. Giada's recipe had the perfect proportion of salt, pepper and herbs. Also, I used sourdough bread and it was amazing. Thanks Giada!
