The ingredients for Jen-Jen soup are:

approx 2# of red potatoes- simi peeled and sliced/chopped
1 onion chopped
5 cloves of garlic pressed or minced

chicken broth (1 large box/carton)
2 c milk
5 TBS (or more) of pesto (about half of a small jar)
2 TBS butter

2 C cooked pasta (I used elbow macaroni... mini shells might be better... or use whatever you have)

Here is how you make Jen-Jen soup:

saute potatoes, onion, garlic with the olive oil over a low/med heat for about 10 minutes. I also added some ground pepper & salt while browing this.While you are cooking the potatoes, you can cook the pasta. In a larger pot, heat the broth and milk. Once you have cooked the potato mixture, scrape that into the broth/milk. At this point you can add some red pepper flakes to give it a little "kick". Cook another 10 minutes to soften the potatoes a little more. After the 10 minutes, add the pasta, pesto and butter. Simmer an additonal 5 min. or so. Sprinkle with parm cheese... Serve with french bread or a salad or both!!! ;)I think this would be really good with some spicy ground italian sausage added too. I might cut back on pasta next time and possibly add some spinach to it. Serving Size: makes about 12 --1 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CAFEJOJO.
