Ingredients:

Serving

6 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 zucchini (about 1/2 lb), quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into thin slices
1/4 lb green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 lb boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 1/2 cups drained canned diced tomatoes (1 15-oz can)
1 quart canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
3 cups water
1 cup drained and rinsed canned white beans , preferably cannellini
1/2 cup elbow macaroni or other small pasta
3 small cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup loosely packed basil leaves

Directions:

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, green beans, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes longer.
Add the potatoes, tomatoes, broth, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add the beans, pasta, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, puree the garlic, basil, and the remaining 4 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir 1/4 cup of this pistou into the soup. Serve the soup topped with the remaining pistou.
Wine Recommendation: A good German riesling will cut through the richness of the soup and refresh your palate with its lively flavor. Try a kabinett or spätlese wine, preferably halbtrocken (on the dry side).
