Provençal vegetable and bean soup finished with basil pistou.
Roughly chopped
Tinned, drained
Diced
Simmer onion, leek and carrot in vegetable stock for 15 minutes. Add courgette and beans.
Add tomatoes and simmer a further 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Season well.
Remove from heat, stir in a generous spoonful of pistou, and serve immediately. Pass extra pistou at the table.
💡 Do not boil after adding pistou — heat destroys the basil aroma.
