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.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The flavors were a bit muted and the texture was a bit watery. I probably wouldn't make this soup again.

I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because the pistou was actually pretty good. The soup itself was bland and uninspired, but the pistou added a nice touch of flavor. I would recommend using the pistou in a different soup recipe.

Meh, this soup was just okay. The flavors were underwhelming and the texture was a bit too thick for my liking. I probably won't be making this again.

This pistou soup was a disappointment. The broth was bland and lacked flavor, and the vegetables were overcooked. Even the pistou couldn't save this dish. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
