This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a different type of pesto than the one in the recipe, but it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this soup again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more pesto. I will definitely be making this soup again.
