Italian Pea and Basil Soup With Parmesan

"Peas, Basil, Parmesan. What's not to love? Very simple italian inspired soup which turns the prettiest shade of green. Wonderful for spring, or any time of year. Very cheap and fast - and tasty! Found in "The Practical Guide to Using Herbs". I suggest using the full amount of olive oil called for, as its a low calorie soup to begin with."
