Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, potatoes, leek, zucchini, and green beans to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with oil and garlic.
Pour in the 2 liters of water. Add the clean stone and bouquet garni. Bring everything to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, remove the stone with a slotted spoon and discard it. If using, add the pasta and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes until al dente.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bouquet garni before serving.
Serve the soup hot in bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Feel free to add seasonal vegetables, legumes, or even chicken pieces to customize your soup.
