Can you come up with a better recipe for soupe au pistou than this one or that one?
Which do you favor, the Epicurious recipe or Mark Bittman's in The New York Times?
A friend is going to the south of France, and our conversation prompted my recollection of this wonderful soup as served in Vence and other such places in the alpes maritimes just north of Nice. -- DL
I prefer Bittman's. His sensibilities about all things edible just seem right.
Trying to think-- did Julia Child have a recipe?

I'm partial to Elizabeth David's recipe from "A Book of Mediterranean Food." She was a stickler for authenticity and kept her recipes to the basics. Plus she was a terrific writer.

ps. Julia Child's recipe is similar to David's
