Stir all soup ingredients together in a 2 qt. pitcher. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Pour into soup bowls and swirl on sour cream. Drag a toothpick across the top of the soup to make a pretty star design. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Garnish with lemon wedges and basil sprigs. Serve with crackers (optional).
