Introduction
I love cream of tomato soup with gorgonzola, but I'm not up for the usual 500 calories a serving with over 25 grams of fat. I love this recipe and it has all the flavor of the original. It's high in fiber and protein. Each serving size of this soup is ~13-15 ounces. If you only eat 1 cup of soup as your seving the nutritional info is 140 calories and 4.7g of fat.

Ingredients
-
56 oz of diced tomatoes (no salt added), drained
1 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp Tomato paste
6 cloves garlic, pressed
1 pint fat free half and half
2 Tbsp basil leaves, fresh, chopped
3/4 cup Treasure Cave Crumbled Gorgonzola
Directions
1. Pulse the drained tomatoes in a food processor until smooth, about ten 1-second pulses followed by about 20 seconds continuous; set aside.
.
2. Cook the garlic, tomato paste, and oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste begins to brown, about 2 minutes. [note: This is best in a regular pot, not non-stick, but non-stick is fine if that's all you have.]
.
3. Stir in the pureed tomatoes until the tomato paste mixture has thoroughly combined with the tomato puree.
.
4. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are bubbling. Add the gorgonzola and stir until the cheese has melted and no longer appears as lumps in the sauce (5-8 mins).
.
5. Add 1 pint of fat free half and half. Stir to thoroughly incorporate. Remove from heat to keep half and half from boiling.
.
6. Off the heat, stir in the basil.
.
I like bowls of this stuff, not cups. So each serving is ~ 13-15 ounces (almost 2 cups). The nutritional info is pretty good considering the large-sized portions.
