6-8 medium tomatoes 2 T tomato paste1 can chicken broth1 can water1/2 medium onion 1 clove garlic1 sweet red pepper1 T canola oil1 cup basil leavesSalt/pepper to taste1/2 cup fat free half and half (any milk product would work)1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)1/4 cup butter (I used Smart Balance)
Saute onions, garlic and peppers in canola oil until soft. Add broth, water, tomatoes, tomato paste and basil. Simmer 30 minutes. Using a blender, food processor or immersion blender, blend until smooth. (If using a blender or food processor, make sure you vent the top a bit and only blend in small batches - don't burn yourself!). Return to pot and add half and half, butter and cheese while on LOW heat. Take off heat, garnish with more cheese and serve.
