Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery fennel and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Drain the beans; if they’re canned, rinse them as well. Add them and the zucchinis to the pot along with tomatoes and their juices and stock, pesto, rosemary and thyme.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat so the soup bubbles steadily; cover and cook, stirring once or twice, 15 to 20 minutes.

Nice meal with my employees tonight.
Joyful mood is what we always serve on our menu in our company.
So it's nice to treat them once and a while with a nice restaurant where they can have all what they want to eat and drink.
Feeling blessed to have them in my everyday life.
This is my plate of monkfish, it tasted heavenly and it had rice to go with and small shrimps and vegetables and of course a glass with Omnom drops in it.
Nature has this way of making sure that all its creatures gets what it needs to flourish. Color and bokeh helps us enjoy watching this happy butterfly “Enjoying Her Meal.” Thanks for viewing my work. Be grateful and stay kind.
Have you ever noticed how a bouquet of tulips resembles a nest full of tiny birds beakes waiting to be fed? No, but I do :-)
Happy Floral Friday all!!

Resident Robin tucking into live mealworms on my bird table. One Robin was only a foot away from feeding out out of my hand yesterday.
He is deciding what to have, the choice is..... Diced Peanuts*, Sunflower Seeds, Crunchy Peanut Butter or Suet Pellets.
* Young chicks can choke on whole Peanuts so I spend 15 minutes chopping them up using my Wife's best cleaver, please don't tell her.
