 a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, to let flavors
 blend, 20-25 minutes.

 Remove pan from heat. Using a blender, puree soup in
 batches until smooth. If desired, slowly stir in heavy
 cream, stirring continuously to incorporate. Return pan
 to stove to heat through. Top servings with fresh basil
 and Parmesan cheese if desired.
