  I've literally just made this for lunch and I was a bit worried it was going to be a bit bland but it SO wasn't! It was delicious and much better than any shop bought soup. So good, I want some more!

  Very easy to make and very tasty and filling. I also used small pasta shapes instead of spaghetti which worked well, I added some garlic and a small chilli too. The pesto added a lovely flavour. Served with crusty bread with melted cheese which worked well with the soup's flavours. Will definitely make this again.

  So easy and quick to make. Didn't have pesto or parmesan cheese. Added chopped up frankfurters/hotdogs and my son topped his soup with few thin slices of cheddar cheese instead. Enough left over for tomorrow's lunch. Great! Will get some pesto next time :)

  I have this soup twice in the last week and me and my partner and 2 children love it!!!! I have found that if i boil the veg seperatley the stock doesn't reduce as much..... really tasty and filling though. Is now a favourite of mine, and a great way to get a 3 and 1 yr old to eat veg!!!!

  I used the remainder of a carton of V8 vegetable juice and made up the volume with stock, had several packs of different frozen vegetables which needed to be used up so they went in too plus half an onion from yesterday along with some garlic and black pepper - it was delicious but I will never be able to replicate it as I may never have the same left-over ingredients again!

  I really liked this recipe. It was so easy. I didnt have any pesto or frozen veg, instead I added peppers onions, garlic and frozen peas. Handful of pasta to keep the calories down. Very good recipe, only negative is it is slightly watery. Next time, i will reduce the amount of stock.
