Recipe Method
1. Bring vegetables, tomatoes, water,
cheese rind, and 1 teaspoon
salt to boil in a
soup kettle or pot.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, about 1 hour. (Soup can be refrigerated in airtight container for 3 days or frozen for 1 month. Defrost if necessary and reheat before proceeding with recipe.)
3. Add beans and cook until just heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Remove and discard cheese rind. Stir in pesto (or rosemary-garlic mixture).
4. Adjust seasonings, adding pepper and more salt, if desired. Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
