Hello & Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm Audrey in Kansas City, Kansas. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian of about

a year.

My latest favorite recipe is below. Subbing margarine for the butter is

fine, but don't sub half & half or milk for the cream, it will curdle. Not a

diet recipe!

 

 

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

 

2 small cans diced tomatoes (not flavored, just tomatoes) or the same amount

of fresh tomatoes

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)

1 cup heavy cream

14 leaves fresh basil, chopped

 

Use a blender or food processor to puree the tomatoes to your preferred

consistency -- leave some tomatoes out of the blender if you like chunky

soup.

Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan; add tomatoes. Heat; add cream and

basil. Serve with a salad and some good crusty bread. Leftovers (if you have

any) keep well for lunch the next day. Enjoy!
