Method

  • step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and celery and fry for 10-15 mins, or until starting to soften, then add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Stir in all the other ingredients, except for the pesto and remaining oil, and bring to the boil.

  • step 2

    Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 6-8 mins, or until the pasta is tender. Season to taste, then ladle into bowls.

  • step 3

    Stir the remaining oil with the pesto, then drizzle over the soup. Serve with chunks of crusty bread.

question

Can you use any pasta? Don't have any orzo in the cupboard right now

I make this once a week and the kids call it Mummy's special soup. My partner likes it too. I swap the celery for carrots or peppers, whatever we have in really. The pesto does make it extra yummy, but we regularly eat without it. My tip as others have said is to use more stock I usually use about…
