Ingredients

  • 1 cup carrots peeled and chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup green beans chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 stalk celery cleaned and chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup zucchini chopped into bite sized pieces (I used a combination of yellow and zucchini squash)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 2-3 cups baby spinach chopped you can substitute with 1 box frozen spinach thawed

  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ready-made pesto
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Chop all of the vegetables. I chopped each veggie and just piled all of them in a large bowl with the exception of the spinach & garlic.
  • Heat a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add the butter & olive oil. When hot & bubbly add all of the vegetable except the spinach & garlic - Add carrots, green beans, celery, zucchini, bell pepper, onion & minced chili. Reduce heat to medium and saute for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes add the white beans, spinach, garlic & pesto. Mix well to combine. Then add the vegetable stock - heat thru & the soup is ready to serve.
