Method

Hide images
step 1
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large casserole and add the onion (1), fennel (1), carrots (4), leeks (2), courgettes (4) and garlic (4 cloves) along with ½ tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened, but not coloured.
step 2
Meanwhile, pour boiling water over the tomatoes (2) and stand for 5 minutes, then carefully pull away the skin to peel and dice.
step 3
Add the tomatoes, vegetable stock (650 ml) and white beans (1 jar) and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for a further 10 minutes, then stir in the pasta (250 g), adding a splash more water if needed to submerge the pasta in the water, and cook for a further 8 minutes until the pasta is cooked.
step 4
Stir in half the pesto (1 tub). Spoon the soup into bowls (it’s nice to serve it not piping hot, or room temperature) before topping with the remaining pesto and a drizzle of lemon oil (2 tbsp).
