Tummy Warming Tomato Basil Soup

Delicious...Easy...Inexpensive

3 T Butter
1 medium vidalia onion, thinly sliced
(1) 28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 c whole milk (or heavy cream)
1/4 c fresh basil, finely chopped
salt & pepper to taste
Cook onion and butter on medium heat for 15 min or so. Add tomatoes and 4 cups of water and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Puree the soup in a food processor, blender or use an emersion blender. Put back in the pot and add cream/milk, salt & pepper and basil. I also picked up a can of Amy's Organic low fat cream of tomato soup and added it. Delicioso!
