Ribollita is a classic Tuscan soup known for its hearty, rustic flavors. The name means "reboiled" in Italian, as it was traditionally made by reheating leftover vegetable soup with stale bread. This vegetarian dish originated as a peasant food in Tuscany, using simple, affordable ingredients like cannellini beans, kale, and stale bread. Over time, it has become a beloved comfort food, especially in colder months.
