  This soup is delicious, the addition of fish fingers as croutons is a great idea which turns the soup in to a filling main meal

  This was easy and very yummy. Make loads and freeze. An easy dinner is just a reheat and grilling of fish fingers away !!

  Very simple, quick and tasty, popular with my family including children. I always start with an onion, fry it very gently until just soft, before I add the other ingredients. Yummy!

  i didn't have any green pesto so substituted it with good quality mint sauce instead and make it this way all the time now.

  Love this soup, so easy to make I even made it before work one morning. I often have it for lunch as it's really filling. Everyone that has tried it loved it!

  This is one of my favourites! The pesto really compliments the peas and my little one loves the idea of slimey green witches brew soup with fishy dippers!

  this is the first ever recipe I tried from the magazine, its gorgeous, with or without the fish fingers. It works just as well with red pesto (but doesn't look quite so nice!)

  The nutritional serving is fo rper serving ... but it doesn't mention anywhere on the page how many servings it provides! (Apologies if I have indeed missed it somewhere!). Does anybody know how many servings it does using the ingredients instructed to use? Would it be possible for somebody to place the serving amounts on this page? Thank you! :)

  Waited until we were babysitting my niece for an excuse to make this - won't bother waiting until we babysit again - it was fab!

  Very very good - fish finger croutons are amazing and work really well. You may need a touch more water though, it is a little thick (not thick enough to eat with a fork though).

  Really lovely - I whizzed the whole lot up rather than have lumpy bits (picky kids) and my 19 month old wolfed it down, complete with the fish fingers - delicious!

  Surprisingly, this was very, very tasty and I was so pleased with how it had turned out. Will definitely be making again. I didn't do the fishfinger croutons part...but will try this next time. We ate ours with some homemade bread and it went down really well with my six year old...but he wants it with fishfingers next time!

  I made this for lunch today and agree with everyone that it is incredibly tasty. I think next time I make it I will add more stock as it was a bit thick and now it is cold, it looks a bit like baby food!

  Delicious! I made this last night, when I saw the recipe I wasn't sure but decided to give it a go as the comments where so good. It was really lovely warming comfort food. The fish fingers are a must as they add a little something extra.

  This was delicious, looked just like the picture and possible the easiest soup I have made. Hubby was very impressed with the concept of fish finger croutons. Will make this again.

  Loved this soup, a meal in a bowl. Very quick and easy. Made the mistake of adding a bag of sugar snap peas I had to use up which made the end result rather stringy, will stick to podded peas next time.
