    My family loves this recipe. I typically do not add the pancetta or herbs de provence and it still has wonderful flavor. I increase the chicken stock to 4 cups simply because I like it with a little more liquid. Freezes beautifully.

    So good! Didn't have to change a thing. My grandparents were from Italy, and this soup is just on par with their wonderful homemade cooking. I'm not sure why some people were complaining it had to much spinach... it was just right.

    This is my go to recipe. I often make a double batch and take some to my elderly mother who absolutely loves it. Today I added kale and substituted fresh (bagged baby spinach for frozen. Also, because we are on a low sodium diet, and the pancetta is plenty salty on its own, I eliminated the salt, used reduced sodium broth and half the amount stock and added some water to taste. It's a nourishing, healthy, comforting, flu-fighting meal in a bowl.

    I don't understand how you can review a recipe with 5 stars then change it! This one had way too much spinach. It overpowered the tasts of the other ingredients. Also, in order not to have a 'stoup" it needed much more chicken broth. With those adjustments, the soup was very good.

    Yum. I just made this in about 30 minutes because I was looking for something to use the pancetta I had, and I was starving! It is so yummy! I didn't have any spinach, though, and it is still yummy! You are always a hit Giada! Quick, quick, and delicous!

    This is an ok ribollita recipe. Using kale instead of spinach takes away that strong "spinachy" taste. Another ribollita recipe from Foodnetwork that is absolutely to die for is Ina Garten's ribollita.

    Just got back from Tuscany and this soup recipe was comparable to the soup I had in Italy. As all the other reviews has said all the good aspects of the recipes (and I agree with all of them, I did make some modifications to align the recipe with what I had in Tuscany. I did not use any tomato paste or canned tomatoes, just 4 fresh tomatoes. I also added zucchini and extra stock. I would also add less spinach than the recipe calls for (maybe 8 oz to make it more Tuscan. Otherwise, it was AWESOME!!!
