This was super quick and delicious! The last Lenten Friday night meal of 2020.

I used a box of chicken and a box of beef broth instead of water. I increased the pesto to 1/3 cup to give the soup the umami it needed. Added shaved parm. and a few red pepper flakes.

Next time, I'll add a can of white beans.

Here is the recipe from the supermarket flyer.

Below is the way I made it, with the future can of white beans.
