This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. It's also a very affordable meal. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. But the vegetables were cooked well and the pesto was a nice touch.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup. I usually add a bit of extra kale or spinach for some more greens.
