Sorry it's taken me so long to post this, Sara. The Spicy Hot V8 is the secret...regular tomato juice just isn't the same.
Tomato Basil Soup
28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
11.5 oz. Spicy Hot V8
14.5 oz. chicken broth
15-20 fresh basil leaves cut into thin strips
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup butter
Combine tomatoes, V8 and chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. * Puree in blender or with immersion blender. Add the cream and butter, return to medium-low heat, and stir until butter melts completely. Serve immediately.
*We've added basil before and after pureeing....both are good.
