This soup is great and it makes a TON! I initially forgot to serve it with the pesto and I thought it was good but the addition of the pesto makes it remarkable. I added 2 T. of Italian seasoning as well.
Tasty! I also sauteed some garlic with the onion and sprinkled with shredded parmesan cheese before serving.
This was delicious! One of my first few attempts at making soup and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly except I omitted the potato and substituted cooked orzo in its place. I cooked the orzo separately then just put a spoonful in the bottom of each bowl. I thought the orzo went more with the Italian soup idea than potatoes... But definitely a do-again.
This soup is excellent. It is nutricious and quite filling. Great for a cold day.
This soup hit the spot! It was just what I was hoping for. I added some basil to the olive oil and garlic to the onions. Definitely would salt and pepper it more if I could go back this time I didn't and ended up adding some to my individual dish which really made it flavorful. I also threw in some cooked acini di pepe pasta but the soup was good by itself as well!
Good healthy soup! Makes a lot. Used both white and sweet potatoes. Also added Schwans mini pasta blend that has red pepper corn peas carrots and mini bow tie pasta. Added the pesto into the soup - gave it tons of flavor. Used unsalted chicken broth. Smells good too! It's on the winter soup rotation.
Outstanding! I added some squash I had handy and a bit of garlic powder. For the pesto I used the Pesto del Sol from this site but the soup was also excellent without the pesto.
This really needed something. I added garlic and a little Italian seasoning but it was still missing something. Maybe it was the potatoes. I left those out in favor of whole wheat seashell noodles. It was still pretty good though. And yes it does make a ton! Update: All it was missing was time. I had some for lunch today and it was unbelievable. The flavors really meld together well. My preschooler who refused to eat anymore after her two no-thank-you bites last night begged for her own bowl after tasting mine today. Her eyes got huge and she pronounced it delish. I do however wish I had stuck with my instincts and froze half of the batch. If you cook the starch (potatoes or noodles) separately the soup should freeze beautifully. Then just add noodles after you unthaw your soup. There is no way we can eat all of this before it spoils.
It's fine soup. When i added lemon juice pureed ginger and garlic it really came alive.
Had to add a lot of salt/pepper for taste.. Was not impressed with overall end result. Also recipe stated that it made 10 servings and I got 5 decent sized servings out of..making the overall calories not worth the effort for the final result. However if I do make it again NOTE the pesto is essential!
