  Gorgeous! Even nicer with freshly home grown peas - melt in the mouth. Only thing we were missing was some crusty bread to soak up the juices. Wonderful!

  I made this last night and it went down very well, nice and easy to make and bonus for only using one pot! I used pak choi instead of the greens but used rest of veg in recipe I used chopped chicken breasts aswell and a little more stock so it was more soupy, served with lots of crusty bread, no complaints, I also like the idea of using the pesto.

  this was yummy! Next time I will do double as wanted more! I agree with many on here though no need for all the veg, I used half and it was more than enough.

  I found this recipe really bland, I could only taste the pesto. It also didnt look great, like a thick murky pesto soup.

  This has become one of our regular midweek dinners - it is so healthy, yet delicious. I often use carrotts instead of broccoli to add more colour (and sweetness) to the plate. Agree that too much veg in this recipe. My husband keeps complaining that the sauce is too runny, so might add a little flour next time to thicken it a little.

  Brilliant dish, my husband and I will defiantly be having this one again. We used one veggie and one chicken stock (as didn't have enough veggie stock) Which tasted fine. I used sugar snap peas instead of peas and also added more pesto (another tbsp) Next time i will add the broccoli 5 minutes or so early as i found the potatoes were already cooked by the end of the 30 minutes.

  Same, I wasn't sure I would like it (too green) but the flavors were great and tasted fantastic, even my kids ate it and liked it!

  this was insanely good. I used green beans instead of spring greens as the kids love 'um. Its worth making your own pesto for this, it only takes a few minutes but its so much nicer than the store bought stuff.

  I cooked this tonight, and although I strayed from the ingredients, using what I had in the house, making it an excellent store cupboard recipe, I used carrot, celery, pepper, green chilli in the base with chicken stock. Then added spinach with the spring onions later. I followed the basic recipe, and it was de-lic-ious. Oh, and I added a bit of mash potato (which I had leftover in the fridge) at the end which gave it a slightly creamy texture. Will be adding this one to my binder and cooking it again & again, mwah

  Fabulous recipe, full of vibrant spring-time flavours. I made this exactly as the recipe suggested and it was quickly devoured by the whole family. There is something sooo satisfying about seeing kids eat this much green :o)
