We really should have called this site The Basil Blog. I just realized that the last 7 of 8 savory recipes I’ve posted all include basil. And even as I was reflecting on that, the most prominent thought that came to mind was wondering how delicious a basil brownie might be. (Strawberry basil sauce – yes?) So I make no apologies… it’s one of my favorite things, especially when my basil plant is flourishing like it is. This is my attempt at contributing to The Food Matters project today. It’s white bean and asparagus soup day. However, it’s been in the 90’s here, so I just couldn’t bring myself to making a hot & creamy rosemary-ey soup. A chilled, bright, herb-packed soup was what was called to me instead… but check out what interpretations the others have made here.
