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.

Coffee and mint: a combo that you didn’t know you loved. If you don’t have espresso beans, brew a strong pot of coffee and let it cool to room temperature before adding cream and muddled mint.
