Winter Soupe au Pistou. Photo: Kelsey Hansen Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 1 hr Servings: 6 Yield: 10 cups Soupe a pistou is a light, country-style French vegetable soup typically made with summer vegetables and small pasta and topped with pistou, a nut-free sauce akin to pesto. We put a Midwest winter twist on that formula, trading zucchini and fresh tomatoes for heartier produce like kale and butternut squash.
