Directions:
Finely chop onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Heat saucepan with a splash of olive oil and add vegetables to the pan with the ground fennel seeds and chili. Sweat very slowly on low heat with the lid just ajar for around 15 to 20 minutes, until soft, but not brown. Add the tomatoes and bring to a gentle simmer for a few minutes

Add the drained beans with a little of the water and bring back to boil. Stir in kale, then moisten the bread with a little water and stir it in too. The soup should be thick but not dry, so add a little water if you need to loosen it. Continue cooking for about 30 minutes.

Season the ribollita with salt and pepper and stir in 4 good glugs of good quality virgin olive oil before serving.
