Cook the Book: Italian Bread and Cabbage Soup with Sage Butter
Don't be fooled by this recipe's austere title. There's nothing austere about the crisped pancetta, grated fontina or globs of sage butter that take today's Cook the Book dish from subsistence to celebratory.
Jamie Oliver's Italian bread and cabbage soup is a glorious way to use Savoy cabbage at peak season. What could be more warming on a cold winter's night? Make a few extra pieces of melted fontina on toast, and it's a complete, nearly meatless meal.
