I really enjoy creating my own recipes. This one evolved one afternoon when I had an abundance of basil in my garden. I serve it to the ladies' reading club, and everyone wanted the recipe!—Aida Von Babbel, Coquitlam, British Columbia Ingredients:
3 cups chicken broth |
1 cup minced fresh basil |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
white pepper to taste |
3 cups milk |
1/2 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, simmer broth and basil, uncovered, for 15 minutes. In another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; gradually stir in broth and sour cream (do not boil). Yield: 8 servings.
