Fresh Basil Recipes

I love cream of tomato soup with gorgonzola, but I'm not up for the usual 500 calories a serving with over 25 grams of fat. I love this recipe and it has all the flavor of the original. It's high in fiber and protein. Each serving size of this soup is ~13-15 ounces. If you only eat 1 cup of soup as your seving the nutritional info is 140 calories and 4.7g of fat.

A very slight variation of Wolfgang Puck, 2004 recipe.
I was looking for something new to try with my summer tomato abundance & this was a winner! Entered into SP for the nutritionals & thought I would share. ;-)

Best when made with fresh tomatoes! This recipe makes two large servings, but can be split easily by three people.

This is the real deal. The only difference is that Grandma made hers with a mortar and pestle. You get to use a blender or food processor. Fantastic, bright green color, freezes well.

Traditional Thai dish lightened up a bit but still packed with flavor , I like to serve on a bed of finely shredded cabbage for a change from rice

Simple Salad for one

When your basil plants grow and grow make this pesto up fresh and serve with hot pasta.

This is a quick and easy tomato sauce that's great for summer. With a salad, it makes a delicious and filling but light dinner! The recipe can be easily doubled and the sauce keeps for 4-5 days in the fridge. I recommend cooking the pasta fresh the day you need it. This is also fantastic with shrimp substituted for the fresh mozzarella.

For a healthy treat to alternative canned soup.

Delicious and packed full of fiber. You'll love this easy sauce.
