Tomato Basil Soup

I'm trying this today!

4 tomatoes seeded, peeled, and diced
4 cups tomato juice
14 leaves fresh basil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter
salt and pepper to taste

Place tomatoes and juice in a stock pot over med heat. Simmer for 30 min. Puree the tomato mixture along with the basil leaves, and return the puree to the stock pot.

Place the pot over med heat, and stir in the heavy cream and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Do not boil.

(When I peeled the tomatoes I just put them in boiling water for 15 seconds and the peel comes right off)

So I tried it and YUM!I put half the amount of butter and I would not put any more salt in it. Those are my tips!
