3 tablespoons canola oil
4 leeks (white part only), washed well and chopped
1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/2" pieces
4 ounces pea pods, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth,
plus 1 can water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add
leeks and cook 2 minutes, until softened, stirring
occasionally. Add asparagus and cook 2 minutes, until
color brightens. Add squash and pea pods and cook 2
minutes, or until squash begins to soften.
2. Add salt, pepper, broth and water; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, until
vegetables are tender. Just before serving, stir in
parsley and peel.
This delicate first course is a nice change of pace from chicken
soup. Depending on which phase of Atkins youre in, you may
add a tablespoon of matzo farfel.
