Soupe au Pistou (Vegetable Soup with Pesto) Jump to Recipe Leave a Review Pin RecipeSoup au Pistou- a hearty French-inspired vegetable soup topped with a delicious dairy-free pesto.Just one pot and 30 minutes! (vegan with gluten-free option) We’re tapping into my French roots with a recipe that comes from my late Grandmere.Her parents were from Bezier, a small city in the region of Provence, where Soupe au Pistou originates from.
Just saying the word proh-vahnce gives me butterflies.The lavender, the beaches, the wine…ugh, be still my heart.I dream of the south of France as I slurp each delightful spoonful.
If you’ve never tried adding pesto to your soup, please consider this your sign.The flavor of fresh basil pairs so well with diced tomatoes and potatoes.I promise you, one bite and you’ll be channeling warmer weather in no time! Soupe au Pistou Ingredients For the Soup Extra Virgin Olive Oil- Or any neutral flavored oil you prefer.
Onion- White or yellow onion work best.Leeks– Not only are leeks a great source of prebiotic fiber but they add so much flavor.Please don’t skip them! Potatoes- Yukon or red potatoes work best.
You can also use russet potato, just be sure to peel it first.Zucchini- If you can’t find zucchini you can substitute with finely chopped celery.Carrots- Peeling is optional.
Diced Tomatoes– I like to buy diced tomatoes in a jar but canned works the same.You can also use fresh tomatoes if they’re in
