NOTES: This light but satisfying soup tastes best when made with young
zucchini and other summer produce at their peak of flavor. For a richer
soup, stir pesto into each bowlful.

DIRECTIONS: Heat oil in stockpot. Add onion; saute over medium heat until
onion is soft.

Add potato, green beans, zucchini, celery leaves, tomato, navy beans,
saffron, pepper and stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer
35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in tomato paste. Season to taste with salt. Let stand, covered, 5
minutes before serving. [Per Serving: 96 Calories; 2 g total fat; 0 mg
