Ingredients

***4-5 Roma tomatoes diced fine (you can remove the skin if you want)

***1/4 white onion diced fine

***1 tbsp. olive oil

***Dash of cayenne pepper

***Dash of garlic powder

***Dash of Italian Season

***Dash of salt and pepper

Over medium high, heat oil in stock pot and add tomatoes, onion, and season. Sautee and stir for 5 minutes or until onions are tender.

***1/2 tbsp. minced garlic (from jar is fine)

Add garlic to tomato onion mixture and cook stirring often for 1-2 minutes (Do not over cook garlic).

***3 1/2 Cups low sodium V8

Add V8 to tomato mixture and simmer over medium heat for 15-30 minutes stirring often. Take off of heat. Pour into a clean large bowl or pot.

***1 can cold Italian stewed tomatoes (put in refrigerator to cool while dicing tomatoes and onion)

***15 fresh washed basil leaves rough chopped

Add stewed tomatoes to mixture and allow to cool slightly before adding basil. When cooled off (not hot...warm is fine),

pour in 2 batches and blend until smooth in blender (color will turn more orange rather than red-orange). (Or just leave in pot and use an immersion blender.) (I blended the soup while it was hot and soup went everwhere...I learned my lesson.)

Pour mixture back into original stock pot

***1 pint heavy whipping cream

***1/2 cup (1 Stick) real butter (cut up)

***pinch of salt (to taste)

***about 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Add the above ingredients over medium low heat, warm soup back up stirring often (do not boil).

*** Juice of ½ fresh lemon

Add lemon juice last, stir and

Enjoy!
