Easy CreamyTomato Soup Recipe

"Yep I know high fat here, but oh so good! Thick rich and full of tomato flavor, and takes only minutes to make. Make certain to use good quality Italian canned crushed tomatoes for this, it really makes a taste difference, I also like to add in some minced fresh basil leaves when I have them in my fridge "
