Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 ounces diced pancetta
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced carrot
2 tablespoons finely diced fennel bulb
1/3 cup finely diced celery
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic, from about 1 clove
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped thyme
3/4 teaspoon chopped rosemary
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped basil
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
Salt and white pepper
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced zucchini
1/2 cup diced broccoli rabe
3/4 cup cooked orzo pasta (from about 1/4 cup uncooked)
1/2 cup cooked white beans
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons basil pesto, divided
Procedures:
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the pancetta, onion, carrot, fennel, celery, garlic, thyme, rosemary and basil, and sauté until the vegetables are lightly softened and the mixture is aromatic, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and broth, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pan, and cook the soup base until the flavors are married and the vegetables are soft, about 45 minutes. You should have about 1 quart soup base (add additional water if needed to bring the volume to 1 quart). Taste and season with one-half teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper, or as desired.
When the soup base is almost done, prepare the mushrooms and the rest of the vegetables: In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot. Stir in the mushrooms, zucchini and broccoli rabe until crisp-tender and lightly colored, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the soup base, the cooked pasta and beans, and the chopped parsley, and cook until the soup is hot. Taste once more and adjust the salt and pepper if desired. This makes about 1½ quarts of soup. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each with one-half tablespoon of pesto.
Serves: 4-6 person
