Directions
1.
In a large saucepan, cook celery, carrots, onion, and garlic in butter until vegetables are tender, but not brown.

4.
Return all of the mixture to the saucepan. Stir in whipping cream and sugar; heat through. Stir in fresh basil. Ladle into warm soup bowls. Top each serving with some of the pesto and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if you like. Makes 8 side-dish servings.
