Tomato basil soup

I want to start by saying that the hubby doesn't like soup, but this one is ok. Only because he adds pieces of grilled cheese in it, he doesn't like "runny" soups. :) This one really is so yummy though, especially on a cold night.  And it's SO easy!! I found the recipe here.http://www.girltalkhome.com/blog/tomato-basil-soup



4 cups canned crushed tomatoes
12 fresh basil leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick (1/4 lb) of sweet unsalted butter
Salt to taste
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Simmer tomatoes in saucepan for 30 minutes. Blend the tomatoes with the basil in a blender. Return to saucepan and add cream, butter, salt and pepper while stirring over low heat. We eat this with grilled cheese. :)
