  2. Stir in the green beans, white kidney beans and vermicelli, bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes or until all the vegetables and pasta are tender. Season to taste.
  3. Meanwhile, to make the aïllade, use a mortar and pestle to pound the garlic, basil and tomato until smooth. Season to taste.
  4. Ladle the soup into wide bowls and add a spoonful of aïllade and some thin shavings of cheese to each serving.
Recipe Notes

Cook’s tip: Both the soup and the aïllade can be prepared ahead of time. Add the aïllade to the soup when ready to serve.

Variation: Depending on the season, almost any fresh, diced vegetables can be added to the soup and, if supplies are short, you can use frozen vegetables.
