I’m not really a fan of beans, so I left them out. The soup was kinda bland. I guess I need to follow the recipe next time… 2/5.
This is a good soup, but I wish it had a bit more kick. I think I’ll add some chili flakes next time. Overall, not bad.
I totally agree! A little heat can make a world of difference. Chili flakes sound like an awesome idea!
Loved it! I added some spinach and used rotisserie chicken to save time. Huge hit at dinner! 🙂
The instructions were kinda confusing. What does ‘simmer’ mean? My soup turned out weird. Not impressed at all.
Confusing? Nah, it’s pretty simple once you know! Just keep an eye on it next time, you’ll get it right!
Sorry to hear that! Simmering just means to cook something gently so it bubbles a little. Don’t give up, maybe try again?
This soup is amazing! So flavorful and the pesto takes it to another level. My family loved it! 5 stars!
Yummm!!! 😋 So good!
