My neighbor Miriam has a basil plant which she had to trim, so she gave me 1/2 pound of fresh basil - yummy. I whipped up a few ingredients already in my pantry, and came up with this creamy rich flavorful soup. It has a warm follow through perfect for the winter months. What fun to get such a basil bonus!
