Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon parsley, flat-leaf coarsely chopped
1 to taste salt and pepper
4 Each lettuce, escarole leaves
1 Tablespoon basil, fresh coarsely chopped
1 Tablespoon oregano, fresh coarsely chopped
Directions:
To prepare ciabatta croutons: Preheat oven to 350. Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and place them on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Toast for about 15 minutes or until they are nice and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool.

To prepare the soup: Bring the stock to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add the fresh beans and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are al dente. If using canned beans, skip this step.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute for 10 minutes until the onions are tender. Add the carrots, celery and leek and saute for 2 minutes. Add the beans and stock to the vegetables and bring back to a boil. Add the lettuce, basil and oregano. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the lettuce and carrots are tender and the flavors are well blended. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
