  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Immersion blender
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and maintain a low heat to prevent boiling.
  3. Whisk in the grated parmesan cheese gradually until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves.
  5. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until velvety and consistent.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Ensure the soup does not reach a rolling boil to prevent the cream from separating.
