Cost information for the following is not included. Normally this is because the quantity or ingredient is unknown
4 ounces 1/4-inch dice carrot
4 ounces 1/4-inch dice celery
4 ounces 1/4-inch dice yellow onion
Salt, to taste
4 ounces 1/4-inch dice summer squash--- the pale green varieties (Lebanese, Cousa, or patty pan) and Rond de Nice are my favorites
4 ounces cooked shelling beans (cannellini, flageolet, garbanzo, or cranberry beans) ,
seasoned to taste with salt, and enough of their cooking liquor* to just cover
About 6 ounces chewy-stale white country-style bread (made with only wheat flour, water,yeast, and salt---no seeds, fat, eggs, nuts, alternate flours, or flavorings) You want a loaf that has lots of irregular air pockets---not one with a dense crumb structure. Ciabatta works well.
