Still one of my favourite soups! I usually make it without dippers as I prefer eating fish fingers on their own or with mash, but both works really :D http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/pea-pesto-soup-with-fishy-crutons_15.html

Delicious, simple and a real unique way of having soup. Filling enough to have as a main meal. Made it a few times now and it is wonderful

This recipe is easy to do and really tasty!! Really recommend this as either a starter (smaller portion), or very tasty lunch.

Made this last night, and was very happy with it! I did have to add some spices myself, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, onion powder and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, but it turned out very nice!

I posted it up on my food blog…
