Tuscan Ribollita With Summer Vegetables

Every summer we find ourselves with more vegetables than we know what to do with. The solution? An Italian soup called ribollita. Actually, it's an Italian stew. Or actually, an Italian pancake. It's all three of those things, depending on how long you cook it.
