Beanless Ribollita Italian Soup
with pancetta, veggies, and shrimp

Active: 25 min Total: 40 min
This classic Italian soup is peasant, comfort food at its best. See how spices, some cured meat, and basic pantry essentials can elevate budget ingredients.
Smarts: Since beans are not paleo, we've substituted shrimp instead. They cook quickly on a weeknight and have great natural flavor.
