Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 ounces pearl onions, peeled

3 cloves garlic, peeled

1/4 cup dry white wine

4 ounces round baby orange and yellow carrots, thinly sliced

1 small bay leaf

2 sprigs fresh thyme

2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley

3/4 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock

4 ounces baby new potatoes

9 ounces assorted baby summer squashes, cut in half

1 ounce young sugar snap peas, stem ends trimmed

1 ounce fresh or frozen lima beans, shelled

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until golden. Add the white wine; cook until most of it has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add carrots, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, stock, and 3/4 cup water; simmer 5 minutes. Add potatoes; simmer 7 minutes. Add squash; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add peas and lima beans, and cook 2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat; remove and discard the herb sprigs. Divide the vegetables and broth among four shallow bowls, and serve.
