Minestrone Primavera

Minestrone primavera is a wonderful bowlful of spring flavors, with lots of green vegetables, white beans and a light stock base. It's easy to make, adaptable to what you have and perfect on cooler spring days.
Spring is one of those seasons that sometimes feels way too fast. But even so, I always make sure I try to make the most of spring vegetables while I can, and maybe even extend them a little.
This soup is a bit of a celebration of spring vegetables, you could say, but in a pretty simple way. It's a spring twist on the more common minestrone that's more common in autumn, to welcome in the colder weather. While they are a little different from each other, they share some common ingredients and simplicity.
Ingredients:
- ¼ onion (¼ onion is around ¼ cup)
- 1 rib celery (small)
- 1 clove garlic small (optional)
- 1 zucchini courgette, small-medium

- 7 ¾ oz cannellini beans (7 ¾oz is half a standard 15.5oz can)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup peas fresh or frozen, as you have
- 3 cups stock chicken or vegetable
- 5 basil leaves approx
- a little parmesan or pecorino to serve
