Prepare the pesto sauce: blend all ingredients until smooth
Pour into a small bowl and reserve
In a medium pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in olive oil, stirring occasionally, until tender (approximately 2 minutes)
Add the potatoes and chicken broth, stir, cover the pan, and let simmer
Reduce the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender (approximately 20 minutes)
Add the green beans and cook until they still have some crunch (approximately 10 minutes)
Remove from heat
With a potato masher, remove the potatoes from the pan and mash in a separate bowl
Return to the pan with the green beans and reheat over high heat
Distribute the soup among four deep bowls, divide the pesto sauce among them, and serve immediately
