Instructions
- Carefully wash and rinse all the vegetables; peel the potatoes, and remove the seeds from the tomatoes.
- Cut them into small even pieces so that they cook evenly. Set aside the carrots, leek, and onion because they need a longer cooking time to release their flavor.
- Put a little oil in a stockpot or dutch oven, brown carrots, leek, onion over medium-high heat for a few minutes (do not toast the onion and leek; otherwise, they will get bitter).
- Add the other vegetables, the herbs, and the Parmigiano rind (if you choose).
- Pour enough vegetable stock to cover all of the vegetables: the vegetable stock be about 1 inch (3 cm) above the vegetables.
- Partially cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 25 minutes; add a little water if it gets too thick.
- Before serving, remove the Parmigiano rind and season with little extra virgin olive oil.
