Steps:
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add celery, carrots and garlic; cook, stirring, until vegetables soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine; stir to scrape brown bits off bottom of pot. Add stock, beans, tomatoes, bay leaves and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. In a blender, puree basil, walnuts, black pepper, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water. Transfer pesto to a bowl; wash blender. Remove bay leaves from soup; discard. In blender, carefully puree half of soup; transfer to a bowl; repeat with remaining half of soup. Divide soup among 4 bowls, dollop each with 1/4 pesto, and swirl in; serve.
Tips:
- For a creamier stew, blend 1-2 cups of the cooked white beans and return them to the slow cooker.
- To make the stew in a traditional pot, follow the same steps but simmer over medium-low heat for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
- To add more vegetables to the stew, try including some chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute chopped fresh tomatoes or a can of diced tomatoes.
- Serve the stew over rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
