Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Combine carrots, celery, cabbage, pancetta, beans, and tomato paste in a slow cooker or a 5-6-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the Parmesan rind, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 7 cups water. Cover and cook over low heat for 7-8 hours. Set aside 1 slice of bread at room temperature to dry out slightly.
  2. Ten minutes before the end of cooking, add the stale bread to the pan. Stir, then add the grated Parmesan and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Place the bread slices in bowls.
  4. Sauté the garlic in a preheated skillet with 3 tablespoons of olive oil for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Add the garlic and oil to the soup and stir. Pour the soup into bowls with bread.
