Ingredients

    1 small yellow onion
    3-4 cloves garlic
    1 medium carrot
    1 celery stalk with leaves
    1 small potato
    7-10 leaves fresh basil (or dried equivalent)
    2.5 cups chicken broth
    9 tomatoes (I used a mixture of plum, cherry and regular, use what you have!)
    3/4 cup evaporated fat free milk
    salt and pepper to taste
    additional basil for garnish
    sour cream, shredded cheese or hot sauce for garnish if desired

Directions

Makes approximately 6 servings

Coarsely chop onion, garlic carrot, celery and potato.
Saute everything but the potato on medium heat with some cooking spray or chicken broth until just starting to soften (approximately 7 min).
Quarter the tomatoes and add to the pot along with the potato, basil leaves and 2 1/2 cups chicken broth.
Add a little salt if you like, along with some black pepper.
Simmer, stiring occasionally around 20 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
Transfer mixture a couple cups at a time to a blender and puree being careful to let the steam out of the blender so it doesn't explode!
You can then run through a sieve to remove the skin pieces and seeds or not-- It's up to you (I don't, unless I know I have a guest who likes their soup this way)
Slowly stir in approximately 3/4 cup of Fat Free Evaporated Milk.
Finely chop additional basil leaves if desired for garnish or extra flavor. Add a dollop of sriracha hot sauce (or your favorite) to give the soup a little kick!
You can also top with a bit of shredded cheese or sour cream if desired (cheese/sour cream not figured in to calorie count)
