For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree before adding the basil. A swirl of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream adds extra richness. Adjust the amount of basil and oregano to your personal preference. For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan Parmesan alternative. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or a crusty baguette for dipping.
