Still one of my favourite soups! I usually make it without dippers as I prefer eating fish fingers on their own or with mash, but both works really :D http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/pea-pesto-soup-with-fishy-crutons_15.html

Delicious, simple and a real unique way of having soup. Filling enough to have as a main meal. Made it a few times now and it is wonderful

This recipe is easy to do and really tasty!! Really recommend this as either a starter (smaller portion), or very tasty lunch.

Made this last night, and was very happy with it! I did have to add some spices myself, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, onion powder and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, but it turned out very nice! I posted it up on my food blog :) http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/pea-pesto-soup-with-fishy-crutons_15.html

So easy to make, and really, really tasty - even better reheated the next day when the flavours have all merged. Definitely going to make again!

Absolutely delicious! I had it with the fish fingers (I just grilled 2 for one bowl of soup, as and when needed) & my mum had with bread as she is a vegetarian. Both of us loved it! I would like to have the nutritional information for both with and without the fish fingers though?!

This soup is really quick and so easy to make. I did enjoy it and think the fishfingers really make it, but I found it a little too thick for my liking and also think the pesto was a bit overpowering - maybe I put a bit too much in. It was nice to try a new recipe but I probably wouldn't make it again.

Really good recipe, fried some bacon with the onion and removed from pan when I blended the potato and peas. Added bacon back to soup. Made loads of soup so plenty for work. Excellent, will make again :)
