Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 pound green or yellow wax beans
1 small zucchini or yellow summer squash
1 15-ounce can white beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup broken spaghetti or other small pasta
3/4 cup store-bought pesto
Grated parmesan cheese and crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and onion and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and 1 tablespoon salt and cook 1 more minute. Add 7 cups water, cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, trim the green beans and zucchini and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir into the prepared broth along with the beans and spaghetti. Simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, whisk 1/3 cup pesto into the soup. Ladle into bowls and top with the remaining pesto. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve with bread, if desired.

I would make this soup again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would add more vegetables and I would use less oil in the pistou.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper.
