Some ideas, please, for some good soup for tonight?

I have some chicken breast and lots of fresh basil. Noodles, rice, and all sorts of other things, but I know I want to make some chicken soup using basil. I usually just make pesto, so I'm not sure about cooking with the basil to get all the flavor I can out of it. Any ideas? Ten point after dinner tonight!

Update:

Okay, cute guy, I like the idea of adding lemon - thanks! But I want more basil flavor than just sprinkling it on.....can you think of anything else?

    Dawn, that's simple, dates back yonks. Make your chicken soup as normal, make like a pesto with your basil, and add it before you turn the burner off. Don't worry about the color, so what if it's green chicken soup, but you will surely get the basil flavor you want.

    Cut up the chicken breast into bitesize pieces, cook it with the noodles and rice then sprinkle basil on top, and maybe some lemon juice for added flavour? :') Easy.

    EDIT: Uhm I'm not sure.. you could buy some more if it's not too late where you live or just add other things instead like ground pepper to give it more taste? that's what I'd do anyway =)
