This recipe came from my friend, Michelle, who I used to work with...This was her Mom's recipe -- who was the chef in a small bistro here in Southern Indiana...Michelle's Mom passed away a couple of years ago and I'm so proud to have this recipe to pass on...

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans tomato soup (Campbell's)
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans whole milk (use soup cans)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh basil (chopped finely)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients, adding each one slowly, stirring constantly to smooth out the lumps as you go -- (NOTE: I believe Michelle told me to use a hand mixer to smooth out any lumps BEFORE you add the basil, salt & pepper.).
  • Bring to a simmer (just bubbly around the edges) - DO NOT BOIL.
  • Simmer slowly for at least 40 minutes, then serve with buttered, crusty bread. YUM!
