Serve this is a first course or, add a cup of soup for a light lunch or supper.
I always make enough beans to have as a side dish for a few meals as well as add to whatever soup I have planned.
A classic soup, wonderful with home-made chicken stock (see notes) but equally good with purchased stock.
The recipe assumes you are using purchased stock rather than making it from scratch.
I love using a bit of Greek yogurt to 'stretch' the pesto sauce.
I turned my favorite summer starter into a pasta salad! Best of both worlds.
This easy salad has a light vinaigrette rather than a mayonnaise based dressing, making it perfect for picnics and outdoor dining.
