I'm not a fan of the texture of this soup. I think I would prefer it if it was pureed.

This soup is a little too thick for my taste. I think I would add more broth next time.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 8 hours.

I found this soup to be a little bland. I think I would add some more spices next time.

This soup is a little too lemony for my taste. I think I would use less lemon next time.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it was even better. I also used a whole lemon instead of just the zest and juice.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lemon flavor really mellows out the pesto and makes it more palatable.
