WOW! Saw this recipe and had to adopt and post. I grow tons of basil and freeze my pesto (Thanks to Zaar directions) I tried this and really enjoyed it as did the family. This is a great recipe for summer harvest or anytime of year. I added in some veggies as DH and I love to eat fresh vegetables and he likes substantial soups.(these additions are in parenthesis) I hope you enjoy. Adopted from Mr. Food- a hometown celebrity chef Ingredients:
2 (14 ounce) cans seasoned chicken broth with roasted garlic (i made my own) |
1 cup onion, chopped |

2 tablespoons pesto sauce (2 frozen pesto ice cubes) |
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh baby spinach |
grated parmesan cheese |
additional pesto sauce |
carrot, cut into disks |
