When I decided to undertake this Meatless Mondays endeavor my friend Michelle suggested a blog called 101 Cookbooks.  Immediately fell in love.  The site was started in 2003 by photographer and cookbook writer Heidi Swanson with a focus on healthy vegetarian recipes.  Her photographs are beautiful.   Everything looks so wonderful…where to start?  Given the grey, cold Seattle days lately, it had to start with a great bowl of soup.  I really enjoy white beans and kale, so this recipe for her Ribollita was the perfect pick.  Ribollita means “reboiled” so it can be made in advance and perfectly reheated.  Recipe makes about 10 servings.  At under $20 for all the ingredients, that’s math I can get behind.
