  Great success! Make your own pesto for this soup - whizz basil, parmesan and pistachios (no garlic!) and a little olive oil, it is even better if it stays a little grainy...

  Nice soup and very easy to make - especially if you have an abudance of courgettes. I blitzed half of my soup in order to make the base that bit thicker and used butter beans instead of cannelloni - as I had them in the cupboard.

  Wonderful and easy soup to make but packed full of flavour. I halved the amounts to serve two but apart from that I followed the recipe, didn't change anything. I will make this again!

  Made this as a quick, healthy midweek supper and it was fab! I also used butter beans as I had them in (and I love them!) and padded it out a bit with some wilted spinach and sharwoods egg noodles that I had in the cupboard and just chucked in with the stock and let boil for a minute or two longer than recipe states. Delicious and surprisingly filling!

  Didnt have any pesto so found this a little bland. I added a dash of cider vinegar which helped (I add vinegar to everything tho - love it!) A good recipe when you're in the mood for a chunky soup!

  The thought of adding pesto in a soup seemed to me at first, a little bit odd, but when I tried it I all of a sudden understood what the fuss was about! In the past I've struggled with getting soups to taste different from each other, as you usually use the same main ingredients, but this is definitely an exception to that rule!
