Ingredients
- 2 small leeks or 1 large, white and light green parts sliced thin crosswise (about ¾ cup)
- 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped small (about ¾ cup)
- 2 small onions peeled and chopped small (about ¾ cup)
- 2 medium stalks celery trimmed and chopped small (about ¾ cup)
- 1 medium baking potato peeled and cut into ½-inch dice (about 1¼ cups)
- 1 medium zucchini trimmed and chopped medium (about 1¼ cups)
- 3 cups stemmed spinach leaves cut into thin strips
- 28 ounces canned whole tomatoes packed in juice, drained and chopped
- 8 cups water
- 1 parmesan cheese rind about 5 by 2 inches
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 15 ounces canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup pesto homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Bring the leeks, carrots, onion, celery, potato, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, water, cheese rind, and salt to a boil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the cheese rind.
- Add the beans and cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the pesto. Adjust the seasonings, adding pepper and more salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.
