Rachael ray made this on her show recently and i can't wait to try it. It sure looks good and healthy. She promoted this as a 15-minute soup.

Add the chopped basil and stir to combine.
While the soup is cooking , drizzle the sliced bread with some extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place on a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden , about 3-4 minutes.
