Stop Wasting Bread: How to Make Ribollita (Italian Shojin Ryori)

Описание: Don't throw away your stale bread.

In the Buddhist tradition of Mottainai (regret over waste), we treat every ingredient with respect. Today, we are making Ribollita—a classic Tuscan peasant soup that transforms yesterday's leftovers into today's healing meal.

This recipe adheres to the Shojin Ryori principle of Ichibutsu Zentai (Utilize Everything, Waste Nothing), utilizing the starchy bean cooking liquid to create a rich, creamy texture without any dairy, as well as repurposing the sage leftover from cooking the beans.

It is simple, economical, and deeply nourishing for the body and spirit.
