      1/2  cup           diced carrots
      1/2  cup           diced celery
      1/2  cup           finely chopped leeks
    1      tablespoon    olive oil
    6      cups          chicken broth
      3/4  pound         red potatoes -- diced
      1/2  pound         green beans -- cut in half
    1                    tomato -- chopped

      3/4  teaspoon      salt
   10      tablespoons   pesto
 
 Saute carrot, celery and leek in oil in nonstick saucepan until very soft, 8
 to 10 minutes (add 1/4 cup water if necessary to prevent sticking).  Add
 broth and potatoes; simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 10
 minutes.
 
 Add green beans, tomato, squash, zucchini, and salt; cook until tender, about
 10 minutes.
 
 Ladle soup into 10 soup bowls.  Swirl 1 tablespoon of the pesto into each
 serving.
