Ribollita Stage III: I added some leftover ribollita to a rich, brown chicken stock in this stage. The soup was freshened with some frozen veggies and some additional spices were added to somewhat change the flavor profile. The resultant soup was topped with 9-month-old freshly grated Pecorino Romano. Trader Joe's Corn Dippers were served alongside. A lightly brewed Himalayan black tea was the chosen beverage.
