🌿 Use high-quality pesto for the best flavor – homemade pesto provides the freshest taste, but store-bought works well in a pinch
🥒 Add extra vegetables like diced carrots or celery for more nutrition – they’ll simmer and soften beautifully in the broth
🍞 Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal that soaks up the flavorful broth
