Ingredients

The full plan

Split between two cooks — each step says who's on it.

1. Dice the leek COOK 1

  • Thinly slice the garlic
  • Dice the white and light green parts of the leek
  • Dice the celery stalks

2. Cut the vegetables COOK 2

  • Thinly slice the yellow onion
  • Peel and dice the carrots
  • Cut the zucchini and summer squash into bite-size pieces, and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces
  • Roughly chop the spinach and fresh basil leaves

3. Soften the aromatics COOK 1

  • In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium-low heat with the garlic
  • Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and very lightly golden
  • Add the yellow onion, leek, carrots, celery stalks, and fresh rosemary
  • Season gently with kosher salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are fully softened but not browned, about 10 minutes, adding more extra-virgin olive oil as necessary if the pot looks dry
🤝 Cook 2 hands over the onion.

4. Cube the bread COOK 2

  • Cut the rustic crusty bread into 1-inch cubes

5. Simmer the vegetables COOK 1

  • In the large Dutch oven, add the tomato paste and stir until it is incorporated, about 30 seconds
  • Add 6 cups of water, the bay leaves, Parmigiano-Reggiano rind, zucchini, summer squash, green beans, spinach, and fresh basil leaves
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are fully tender, about 10 minutes
  • Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
🤝 Cook 2 hands over the tomato paste.

6. Soften the bread COOK 1

  • In the large Dutch oven, add the rustic crusty bread, stir well, and simmer until the bread is very soft and breaking down, about 15 minutes
  • Add water, 1/2 cup at a time, if the soup becomes too thick and dry

7. Plate and serve BOTH

  • In the large Dutch oven, season again with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a generous shaving of Parmigiano-Reggiano if using
  • Discard the bay leaves, fresh rosemary, and Parmigiano-Reggiano rind
  • Drizzle with fresh extra-virgin olive oil and top with freshly ground black pepper and more freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano if using
  • Serve at the desired consistency, either more wet and brothy like a thick, chunky soup or cooked down until thickened like a porridge
🤝 Cook 2 hands over the bread.
