My favourite soup

Are you ready for some soup? Well, here's my favourite recipe.


Pistou


1 c. diced onion
1 leek, white part only, sliced
2 T butter
1 c. green beans
1 c. diced potatoes
1 c. tomatoes, chopped, drained
6 c. vegetable broth
1/2 c. spaghetti noodles, broken into 1" pieces
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 tsps dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground sage
2 egg yolks
1/4 c. olive oil
2 T. tomato paste
2 T. freshly grated parmesan cheese


6 Servings

Saute onions and leek in butter until soft. Transfer to large pot with cover. Add green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Cover & simmer 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and noodles. Cook 15 minutes longer. In a bowl, mash garlic with basil, thyme, and sage. Add egg yolks and gradually stir in oil and tomato paste. Add a little soup to this mixture and stir back into soup. (Do not allow soup to boil, or it will curdle.) Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
