Tomato Basil Bisque
The summer is the peak season for heirloom varieties of locally grown tomatoes, and fresh basil simply abounds, making this soup perfectly possible. Note: when storing basil don’t refridgerate. Keep the roots in water on your kitchen counter. Recipe created by Co-op Member Donna Quinn.
