Sunshine basil with lemon & egg recipe

There are not many scents on this planet that provoke a favourable response as strong as that which basil seems to inspire and this positive feeling can only be intensified by using the punchier Greek variety. This is a take on the classic creamy and tangy Greek soup avgolemono, only with the basil ante well and truly upped. It may seem odd to add egg to a soup, but you can see a sort of sorcery at play as you stir in the eggs and watch the soup transform from watery broth to thickened, enriched elixir. Make sure you use the very best chicken stock for this it is the base for the flavour.
