    I was amazed how easy it was to make this recipe. I did leave out the Anchovies, but I still think it was fabulous! I would recommend this to anyone who loves cold winter days and hot soup, what a great way to end the day, thank you Jamie!!

    I served this as a started at a dinner party tonight and ABSOLUTELY loved it -- I could have done three courses of this soup! The contrast of texture of the bread and the kale and cabbage was amazing, and the cheese added such a special note. The soup was rich without being heavy; I can't wait to eat it again!

    This is a great soup! The bread adds density. The cabbage pairs well with the pork (bacon adds a nice smoke and the cheese binds it into a luscious hearty soup. This is real food!

    Ahhh, this was just lovely! I watched Jamie at Home and thought the recipe looked yummy. Thanks to TIVO, was able to watch again as I wrote the recipe down. I'm so glad I did! Easy, very flavorful and reminiscent of the many hearty Tuscan soups I've had during my travels. I happened to have a dense, homemade,whole wheat bread on hand, and it was perfect for this soup. Both my husband and I loved it and even now, the leftovers at gently reheating in the oven. Perfect for a chilly winter evening.

    I was unsure about this recipe at first, but it looked so good on TV and my very Italian mom used to make something similar for us as kids. I took a risk and boy am I glad I did. This recipe is a keeper!! I made it for my family and everyone loved it. I will definitely make it again and have already bought the ingredients to do just that. Don't forget the sage butter. I'll make more next time as none of us could get enough of the little sage leaves. It was delicious. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Try it. You won't be sorry.

    This soup is as good as it looks when you watch Jamie prepare it on his show. As a single person, I reduced it to 1/4 and prepared it in a small dutch oven. I agree that the cabbage could be cooked a little longer but the flavor made up for the slight crunchiness of the cabbage. Delicious!!

    I've tried a great many recipes from the food network, but this one was truly unique. Make it when you're not in a hurry and can enjoy the process. I guarantee that both the experience of preparing it and sharing it will be rewarding. When I make it again, I will cook the cabbage & kale longer so that they're just shy of how I'd like to eat it in its final form. The baking didn't seem to make the cabbage/kale more tender, so that's why I suggest that. Also, think of the size of the bread slices as portion sizes. It comes out more like a casserole than a soup, so if you cut around the separate bread slices for serving, that makes it easy to take out of the pot. Reserve the leftover stock and keep it warm just in case you want to add it to your portion when you serve it. A really lovely recipe. Thanks, Jamie!
