This is the perfect time for comforting soups, such us Ribollita ('boiled again'), so called because it's even nicer if you have it heated up the day after. It's a very traditional dish in Central Italy and it's sometimes called Acqua Cotta ('cooked water'). Read more Delicious! Here is the recipe. You'll need a big pot. See less

Finely chop the onion and fry in oil until translucent, then add tomatoes, beans (if fresh with 1 litre of water, if dried add with its own cooking water).
