If you're a first time pie maker like me, make sure you cut up your butter into small slices before you add it to the flour or it won't break up right. I had to scrap my first crust because it took too much mixing when I just stuck the whole stick in (hey, I didn't know any better). And don't use all of the liquid, just enough to make the dough stick together when lightly turning it in with a fork. Delicious crust for my first pie!

Wow! Definitely boil the leftover marinade and use it as a sauce. Make sure if you grill to cook it on the top rack rather than right over the flame or the outside will burn like mine did, but it was still wonderful. Imagine if I had cooked it right the first time!

Would be 5 stars, but I think 1 tsp of basil would be overpowering. I followed other reviews and used 1/2 tsp and it was great. I didn't have cream, so I used 1/2 c milk and 1/2 c sour cream. Also added extra bacon and grated cheese to the soup as well as using it for a garnish. Definitely not low calorie, but an awesome, hearty, comforting soup!
