ITALIAN VEGETABLE SOUP: “MINESTRONE”

Wash, peel and coarsely chop all the vegetables, except the leeks which must be cut into very thin rounds. Heat the oil in a large pot. Then, pour into the pot shallots and leeks, and stir-fry. Meanwhile heat the broth into another pot until simmering (click here to read my family recipe stock!). When the shallots and leeks are soft and translucent, add the carrots and celery. Continue to cook over medium heat for a few minutes, then add the other vegetables, one type at a time, except the cooked beans. Stir-fry 5 minutes more.
