A great friend of mine made this UNBELIEVABLE soup for our Super Saturday last weekend and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thanks Dalana!

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. yellow onion, finely diced
1/4 c. leeks finely diced (white parts only)
1/4 c. carrots finely diced
1/4 c. celery finely diced
1/2 c. flour
2 c. chicken or vegetable broth
2 c. cream
3/4 teas. worcestershire sauce
1-(15 ounce) can Italian style crushed tomatoes
1 Tblsp. honey
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tblsp. basil, coursely chopped
3/4 teasp. rice wine vinegar
3 Tblsp. basil, julienned

In a medium saucepan melt butter. Add garlic, onions, carrots, leeks, and celery then cook until tender. Add flour to make roux, cook the flour for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add broth, cream, and worcestershire sauce. Return to heat add tomatoes, and honey, let simmer for 20 minutes.
