Vegetable Soup with Pistou

This recipe was quite bland. I ended up adding spicy sausage at the last minute-- after trying it without. It really needed something...so with the hot sausage it was good. Rather time consuming but good.

My suggestion for this recipe is to use a good quality veggie broth instead of "water". This will add so much more flavor than the water that is called for. I made this (with the broth) and served it with sandwiches. Made a nice cold winter day lunch.
