This is based on a soupe au pistou. But without white beans because i didn’t have any 😁
So if you have any, add those too!
Perfect with some crusty bread or add pasta as you are cooking the soup.

Steps

30-35 mins

1

Heat the oil on a medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté for 10 mins.
2

Add the garlic, celery and thyme. Sauté for another couple of mins.
3

Add the tomato, carrot and courgette. Sauté for about 15-20 mins. The vegetables need to be soft but not too soft.
4

This is a good time to make the pistou: bash the basil leaves and olive oil together. Use a mortar/ pestle or just bash in a bowl with the back of a spoon. Add the salt and the parmesan. Combine.
5

Back to the soup: cover the vegetables with water and add the beans. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Season.
6

When the soup is ready, serve with a generous dollop of the pistou on top. Enjoy 😋
