This is a light refreshing soup that is good for winter and even better for the coming spring. This is a low fat hearty wholesome soup! The pesto makes it Italian but the peas and potato make it Irish but of course besides all that it comes out the colours of the flags!
Ingredients:
1 sprig of Bay Leaves
1 sprig of Thyme
1 sprig of Basil
1 medium potato
2 medium carrots
1 leek stalk
3 celery stalks
1 can of butter beans
1 cup of frozen peas
2 Tbsp of pesto
pepper to taste
Add the herbs tied in a bunch or in a tea bag to 1 litre of water and boil. Chop the potato, carrots, leeks and celery into bite size chunks and add into the pot to boil for 10 minutes. Then let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Take out the bouquet garni (the herbs). Then add the butter beans and peas and simmer on low heat for 10 - 15 minutes. After all this time add the pesto and stir. Ladle into your bowl and eat.
This could not be an easier soup to make!
