Preparation / Directions:Saut‚ leeks, onions and parsnip in olive oil on medium heat, for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes. The first three vegetables especially will have caused a glazing on the bottom of the pan. This is good! Deglaze with the wine or water. Add the bay leaves at the same time. After a minute or two, add all other ingredients through the hot or boiling water. Bring to a boil, reduce to low and cover for 10 or15 minutes, depending upon size of vegetables. Stir in herbs and greens and cover for about 10 more minutes. Add salt and pepper.
Variations: Add 1 Tablespoon green chili powder or 2 teaspoons smoked chipotle chili powder. When fresh herbs are unavailable, use 2 or 3 Tablespoons of crushed dried herbs. Add 2 teaspoons dried crushed basil or 1 handful fresh, minced. Add 2 cans garbanzo beans.
