Saute for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the vegetables. Add the remaining ingredients, except the parsley. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover and boil gently for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and boil for a few minutes longer to reduce the liquid. Divide among 4 bowls, sprinkle the parsley on top, and serve.
