A big improvement over the cream of broccoli soup recipe I posted a few weeks ago. The basil butter make this recipe a delicious winner.

This weekend I decided to crack open Low Carb 1-2-3, a cookbook with just 3 ingredients per recipe. I picked it up a few months ago but only really started looking at the recipes on Saturday. I must say I started drooling as I leafed through the pages.

With 2 lbs. of broccoli in my fridge, I planned to make some cream of broccoli soup. But scanning Low Carb 1-2-3, I found a broccoli soup recipe that called for…basil butter!?! That sounded too tasty to pass up.
