Risotto Minestrone

Andrew Carmellini: Urban Italian; Day 5; Recipe 5

This was just bad.  Rice, carrots, onions, celery, asparagus, broccoli, peas, butter, olive oil, chicken broth, salt, pepper, pesto, pecorino.  And not much flavor.  Boring.  I could only eat a third of this.  I'm not sure there is much more to say here.  I'm getting discouraged.
