Prep: 40 minutesCook: 45 minutes Makes: 6-8 servings It’s a pretty thin soup but I’m tickled to say I grew everything in it! I was late getting in the garden in so this is the small beginnings. 🍃 Ingredients: - 4 tablespoons olive oil - 2 cups chopped leeks, white part only (from approximately 3 medium leeks) - 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic - Kosher salt - 2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped into rounds (approximately 2 medium) - 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes - 2 cups fresh green beans, broken or cut into 3/4-inch pieces - 2 quarts chicken or vegetable broth - 4 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes - 2 ears corn, kernels removed - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - 1/4 cup packed, chopped fresh parsley leaves - 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice - Additional fresh vegetables from your garden like Judy harvested for her version : Green beans, eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, Spanish onion, green onion, chives, garlic chives, spinach, kale, chard, beet tops, rhubarb, tomato, nasturtium, oregano, sage, thyme, kale microgreens and Red Cabbage microgreens Instructions: Heat the olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the leeks, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sweat until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the tomatoes, corn kernels, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are fork tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add the parsley and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with kosher salt. Serve immediately. [Recipe inspiration from Food Network !]
