Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks (white and light-green parts only), halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch slices, rinsed well, and drained
Coarse salt and ground pepper
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
4 cups parsley leaves (from 1 bunch)

Steps:

In a medium pot, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add broth and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Add green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine parsley leaves and 1 tablespoon oil and process until finely chopped. Remove soup from heat and stir in parsley puree.
