Vegetable Soup au Pistou
Adding nut-free pesto, or pistou, to vegetable soup is an easy way to take it to the next level. White cannellini beans make this soup satisfying and easy. If you don’t have time to make your own pesto, just use a refrigerated brand of your choice. Serve with lightly toasted bakery French bread brushed with olive oil.
