SO delicious!!! 😋
I made this last week, so good! My compliments to the Chef!
🤣oh mon dieu!!! C'est quoi ca? Il n'y ni carottes, ni poireau, ni cèleri dans la soupe au pistou. Ce n'est pas un minestrone. 3 variétés de haricots sont utilisés : la variété des "écheleurs" ou haricots plats, des haricots rouge et des haricots blanc "coco"… Les haricots doivent être frais et non pas en conserve !! la tomate fraîche doit être pelée et la soupe doit cuire environ 1 heure, et à la fin hors du feu, on ajoute les pates, plus fines que celles là et la pommade du pistou. Voici le lien de la vraie recette… https://youtu.be/PD8EkP-nEW0
Oh my God!!! What is this horror?? There are no carrots, leeks or celery in the pistou soup. It's not a minestrone. 3 varieties of beans are used: the variety of "écheleurs" or flat beans, red beans and white "coconut" beans… The beans must be fresh and not canned!! the fresh tomato must be peeled and the soup must cook for about 1 hour, and at the end off the heat, add the pasta, which is thinner than this, and the pesto ointment. Here is the link to the actual recipe… https://youtu.be/PD8EkP-nEW0
Awesome, thank you!
looks pretty simplified, but you said "oh there's pasta in it.." when did you add pasta????
ATK's got a lot of great chefs but Becky is my favorite. Easy to follow her recipes and I just love her wonderful personality! More Becky please!
I Luv soup too!
I have always thought you needed to cook these all day long the longer the better. I love this! Plus now I know how to Not make enough to feed an army. So hard to learn to cook small after kids are gone.
When did you guys start taking the labels off your cans of food? Is there some new rule now that you are not allowed to show brand names anymore? Or was that pure chance? Looks like a great recipe. But where I live, soup is pretty much out until about October. Too hot here.
this looked so good, i got up and made my own soup lol
Becky's in bloom! Pairing her with friends like Bridget and Julia is the right dynamic ʕ•́؈•̀ʔ
Why are they making such a big deal about the difference between green beans and haricot vert when haricot vert literally translates to green beans.
This video was says it was uploaded on May 29, 2021, but the link to the recipe says "expired"
Yum
I did not see any peas in the pea stew. It looked more like a pesto to me.
We used to buy canned soup au pistou at the supermarket in southern France and even that
Was delicious – mmmmm
Looks wonderful! What remains after removing such seeds?

I really love these ladies
I like Becky!
So annoying. The link to the recipe doesn’t work!
Disappointed with the mispronunciation of minestrone. the last e is a vowel, not silent.
Love Becky…everytime she comes on the show!!!
What’s the difference between Italian pesto and French pistou? (amount of ingredients?)
these ladies are the hottest
Looks good, just don't like a crunchy soup, I would cook a little longer. Great job.
that looks amazing ……….. add a bit of cubed beef and it would be perfection 😉
soup with no meat sounds boring asf to me
Yum!
Looks delicious but could u use spinach in place of the basil for the piston?
perhaps some baby spinach last with a small bit of butter?
Fantastique 🌿👍🍁
looks amazing, and thanx for the vegetarian recipe.
Looking at the ingredients of the pistou it finally clicked that it's the French version of pesto.
Ladies, this is a nice recipe, tip for viewers, if you don't have veggie stock, not broth, in the states most grocers carry jarred vegetable base in a jar, brand is called " better than bouillion", I use their brands all the time, vegetable, chix, beef, seafood, etc…they are made with real condensed products, makes the best soups, gravys, etc… that I have found
Just what I wanted.
Thank you!
