I love making fresh pesto but sometimes it just doesn’t fit into my day. I’ve tried pretty much all the vegan pestos on the market and none really hit the spot. I finally found the Happy Pear Pesto and it is delicious. The entirely vegan pesto is available in Waitrose – its creamy and full of flavour and about as good as making it fresh. Read our review of the pesto here. This soup not only tastes great, it so quick to make so is a perfect solution when a quick and easy meal is required. My kids really loved the soup too.
