It does. Although I've not tried it, I'll bet even a few bones tossed
in would be just as good if not better.

If you can find it, or similar locally it's a good deal. But you
might omit the salt from your recipe. That product claims to be
reduced sodium. I don't like salt overload so they must be telling
the truth. You can always adjust the salt.

It's in the crock as I type. I used a whole head of roasted and your
recommended 7 cloves chopped. LOL I got carried away with the fresh
basil and used about 1/4 cup.
