Tuscan Ribollita

Ribollita soup is a traditional centuries-old Tuscan soup made with veggies, beans, and roasted bread. The ciabatta is a classic element of Ribollita and what sets it apart from other Italian veggie soups like minestrone. The word “ribollita” actually means “reboiled,” as the soup is traditionally made from reboiling leftover vegetable soup the next day with the addition of the bread. The process of reboiling the soup thickens it and makes it heartier. It also concentrates the flavors, so it is commonly said that ribollita is even better the next day!
