Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped
- 2 zucchinis, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch of kale
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 4 cups vegetable broth, divided
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 lb dried pasta, like Ditalini
Optional Garnish
- pesto
- olive oil
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the box instructions while making the soup.
- Cook the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, zucchini, and garlic and cook for about 8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and brown. Next add the kale, peas, and pistachios then season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good stir.
- Add the liquid: Pour 2 cups of broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook the vegetables until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Blend the soup: Transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender with the remaining 2 cups of broth and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Thicken the soup: Pour the blended soup back into the pot over low heat. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese and eggs in a small mixing bowl and whisk well. Temper the egg mixture by pouring a spoonful of the warm soup into the egg mixture then mix to combine. Transfer the egg mixture to the pot of soup and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring well.
- Serve and enjoy: Add most of the cooked pasta to the soup (reserve some for garnish). Serve the soup in a bowl topped with a spoonful of pasta, a drizzle of pesto and olive oil, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
