Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, leeks, carrots and bok choy. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the pesto and cook, stirring constantly, for 20 seconds. Add the zucchini, pasta, beans, peas and 4 cups of water. Reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the pasta is al dente - about 10 - 12 minutes.
- Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the spinach until it wilts.
- In a small bowl, whisk the miso with ¼ cup of warm water; stir into the soup. Season the soup with salt and pepper if desired.
