Soupe au Pistou

Cultural Context

Originating from the sunny region of Provence, Soupe au Pistou is a vibrant vegetable soup enriched with a fragrant basil and garlic paste known as pistou. Traditionally made in the summer when vegetables are abundant, it reflects the rustic, farm-to-table ethos of Provençal cuisine. Today, it is enjoyed year-round, with variations found across France and beyond, celebrating the essence of fresh, seasonal produce.
