Instructions
- 1Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leeks and courgette for 5 mins to soften. Pour in the stock, add three-quarters of the haricot beans with the green beans, half the tomatoes, and simmer for 5-8 mins until the vegetables are tender.
- 2Meanwhile, blitz the remaining beans and tomatoes, the garlic and basil in a food processor (or in a bowl with a stick blender) until smooth, then stir in the Parmesan. Stir the sauce into the soup, cook for 1 min, then ladle half into bowls or pour into a flask for a packed lunch. Chill the remainder. Will keep for a couple of days.

Chef tips
To keep the pesto's bright green color and fresh taste, stir it in only after turning off the heat. The residual warmth will perfectly release that amazing basil aroma. For a more filling meal, try adding a handful of short pasta or cooked white beans. For the kids, a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan on top right before serving is always a hit.
