Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the lettuce, kale, beans and peas. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes. 

Add the mint, parsley, chives and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

On a Sheet Pan, brush the baguette slices with a little olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover with the Parmesan.

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until nicely browned.

Serve the soup in Cereal Bowls with the Parmesan toasts floating on top, breaking them to fit the bowls as needed.
