Add zucchini, leek, fennel, and carrot. Stir for about 5 minutes, then add vegetable broth. Cover and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Uncover and add the Swiss chard, basil, and chili flakes (optional). Stir well and cook on high heat for another five minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
