Tuscany is famous for its white beans so it’s no surprise that its cuisine is chock full of fagioli (cannellini, white kidney beans and many other varieties). White beans are perfect for purées, soups, or tossing in whole. Our recipe takes inspiration from Tuscan white-bean soup, mixing cavolo nero (Tuscan black cabbage) in a passata (tomato-based broth) for an Italian comfort classic in a bowl.
