Ingredients

10 cups fresh ripe tomatoes, diced

1 large onion, diced

5 T fresh basil, chopped or cut into strips with scissors

5 T fresh oregano

3 T fresh chives, chopped or cut with scissors

6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

1/2 c fat free half and half

2 oz fat free cream cheese (or 2 wedges Laughing Cow)

1 tsp plack pepper

1 1/2 tsp Morton's light salt (or salt to taste)

Directions

In large pot or dutch oven, carmelize onions in olive oil. Add garlic, basil, oregano, chives and diced tomatoes. Do not peel the tomatoes. You do not need to add any liquid, as the tomatoes will release liquid as they cook. Lower heat to medium, cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When tomatoes are cooked, let cool a bit and process small batches in food processor or blender for one minute. Return to pot and add fat free half and half and season with salt and pepper. Cut fat free cream cheese into small chunks and stir until melted. Serving is 1 cup. Sprinkle finely chopped herbs on top.

I serve this with a slice of warm, hearty bread and a green salad (not in nutrition calculations)
