Preparation
 

1 - In large saucepan, heat the stock or water until it
reaches simmering point.

2 - In another saucepan heat the olive oil. Stir in the onion
and leek, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the onion
softens.

3 - Add the carrots, celery and garlic, and cook over a
moderate heat, stirring often, for a further 5 minutes. Add
the potatoes and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

4 - Pour in the hot stock or water, and stir well. Add the
bay leaf and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Bring to
the boil, then reduce the heat slightly, and leave to cook
for 10-12 minutes more.

5 - Stir in the peas, if fresh, and the finely chopped
zucchini and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Add the frozen
peas, if using, and the chopped tomatoes. Cover the pan,
bring slowly to the boil, then simmer the mixture for about
5-8 minutes.

6 - About 20 minutes before serving the minestrone, remove
the lid, and stir in the beans. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir
in the pesto sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if
necessary. Simmer for a further 5 minutes, then remove the
pan from the heat. Allow the soup to stand for a few
minutes, to bring out the flavors, then serve in warmed
bowls.
