  • If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can reserve some of the cooked vegetables before pureeing and add them back into the soup after blending.
  • Feel free to customize the pesto sauce by adding different herbs or nuts, such as basil, parsley, pine nuts, or almonds.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
