// Heat the oil in the stockpot and add the onions, garlic, and mixed greens. Sprinkle with the salt and saute until the vegetables are slightly wilted, about 10 minutes.
// Add the beans, tomatoes, broth, Parmesan rind, carrots, and butternut squash and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still firm.
// Add zucchini and yellow squash and cook, loosely covered, for 10 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water.
// Before ladling the soup into jars, fish out and discard the gooey cheese rinds. Season with salt and pepper.
