- Chop the celery, onion, and carrot into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté the vegetables in a bit of olive oil before adding the liquids to enhance their flavors.
- Use a high-quality chicken gravy for the best flavor, or substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
- If using fresh peas, blanch them briefly before adding to the soup. If using frozen peas, there's no need to thaw; just add them directly to the soup.
- For a smoother texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a more rustic feel.
- Use fresh basil leaves for the pesto to achieve the brightest, most vibrant flavor. Add the basil towards the end of cooking to retain its fresh taste.
