I had a really hard time figuring out how many servings. This makes a ton! Each family member had about 1 1/2 cup serving and there was a lot left over so....I guessed 12 servings.

Beth's Easy Tomato Soup

Beth doesn't share recipes. She's 'one of those' cooks! ;-) So feel privileged, 'cause here's one she kindly shared! :) (NOTE: Beth's original recipe did not have the basil or pepper, it had one less tbsp. onion, and it had an extra tbsp. of sugar. I modified the recipe for my tastes.) 2007-11-13 EDIT: I made this again, adding 4 cloves of minced garlic, and it was delish! (((NOT included in the nutritional information, but it wouldn't really affect the calories anyway!))) :)Submitted by: CURVES_N_CURLS
