I confess that in the past my opinion of vegetable soup has been that its generally boring and watery, but this version has forever changed my mind. Its brimming with a variety of vegetables, which makes it flavorful and hearty in and of itself, but its also scattered with tender gnocchi and topped with a bright but rich pesto. Its more delicious than i ever thought vegetable soup could be and yet it still manages to pack a mighty nutritious punch.
