Ingredients:

Serving

8 ripe plum tomatoes (drained ) or 1 (16 oz) can tomatoes (drained)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pinch ground red pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 cups milk (for vegan version) or 2 cups skim (for vegan version) or 2 cups 1% low-fat (for vegan version) or 2 cups soy (for vegan version)

Directions:

In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the ripe tomatoes for 10 seconds.
Transfer to colander; cool slightly and peel off skin.
Cut tomatoes in half; remove seeds and chop.
In a medium saucepan, cook the onion in olive oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.

Spoon 3/4 of mixture into food processor or blender container; puree until smooth.
Return to saucepan, and add red pepper, basil and milk to the soup.
Heat until hot but do not boil.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the soup into two warm bowls and serve immediately.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
