Chicken Pesto Soup

A feel good soup that's also delicious! Loaded with vegetables, white beans and shredded chicken, all in a pesto flavoured chicken broth.

This is feel-good soup with an extra dose of flavour! Poaching the chicken in the broth, means you can start with a frozen chicken breast. Fresh cherry tomatoes, celery and broccolini add a nice complement of vegetables. Finally, stirring pesto into the soup brings such great flavour to the broth.
