frequently for 3 minutes. Add 2 cloves of
chopped garlic, onions, celery, carrots,
potatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, and cook for
3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and chicken broth and
bring up to a boil, then turn the heat down to
medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until
slightly thickened. |

While the
stew is simmering, toast the bread in the
broiler or in a toaster oven. Rub with the
crushed garlic clove and then drizzle olive oil
over it and reserve. |

Pile the
parsley leaves, lemon zest, and orange zest on a
cutting board. Run your knife through the pile
until the parsley is finely chopped and the
zests are completely incorporated into the
parsley; reserve. |

shallow soup bowls, ladle some of the
