Season with pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are completely cooked. Add the cooked beans and their liquid, then the peas and pasta, plus 2 quarts (2l) water. Bring the soup to a boil, and simmer a few minutes until the pasta is cooked.6Step 6: While the soup is cooking, make the pistou.7Step 7: Pound the garlic to a paste in a mortar and pestle (or use a food processor) with a generous pinch of salt.8Step 8: Coarsely chop the basil leaves and pound them into the garlic until the mixture is relatively smooth.9Step 9: Drizzle in the olive oil slowly, while pounding, then pound in the tomato and cheese. Taste, and season with more salt if desired.getsaucepan.com/r/0305767a-3668-450b-8f27-4818ad606e0d · Original: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/soupe-au-pistou-french-vegetable-soup-recipe/
