Soup au Pistou

French for pesto, "pistou" adds a rich taste to an otherwise standard vegetable soup. Another French trick here is dissolving a thick piece of French bread in the soup broth to add texture. Enjoy this unique way to use some of those fresh vegetables and herbs from the market. I saved time by using frozen peas and carrots to replace the fresh cut carrots. For an easy way to make your bread accompaniment a little more hearty, see SPECIAL BREAD at bottom.
