For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. The pistou can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before adding to the soup. A swirl of heavy cream or a dollop of pesto can be added for extra richness. Serve with crusty bread for dipping and a glass of chilled rosé.
