TOMATO-BASIL SOUP

INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)

4 C. tomato juice
4 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded & diced
14 fresh basil leaves
1 C. heavy cream, plus more for serving
¼ to ½ C. butter, cut into pieces

DIRECTIONS

Pour the tomato juice into a big saucepan and add the tomatoes. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool a few minutes.

Carefully pour the hot tomato mixture into a blender and add the basil; blend until pureed.

Warm 1 cup of the heavy cream in a clean saucepan over very low heat. Gradually stir the pureed tomato mixture into the cream then stir in the butter. Warm the soup over medium-low heat until the butter melts, stirring often, without bringing it to a boil.

Season with salt and black pepper if you’d like, and swirl in a little more cream just before serving. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Note: While we made the recipe as written, you could try substituting V-8 in place of the tomato juice and/or use  a 30-oz. can of diced tomatoes in place of fresh.
