Chunky Tomato-Basil Soup

That favorite tomato soup you had at that cozy cafe? Easy--just blend tomatoes, a bit of light cream, onion, and plenty of fresh basil and you've got it.

This was so easy to make and very tasty. It was great on a cold winter night and even my kids liked it.

If low salt is a concern (mine also) use fresh tomatoes or no-salt canned tomatoes, sweet butter, and try Classico Pasta Sauce. It has one of the lowest sodium amounts and I think has a very nice taste. Most of the pasta sauces have at least 600 mg+ sodium content--some over 1000! I don't know what your preference is, but there are some low sodium ones that aren't too bad.

Also very good if you use unsweetened coconut milk instead of half-and-half - omit the flour. (Bobby Flay used coconut milk in a hot cocoa recipe ...)

How can this be made for a low sodium restricted diet? This is one of my favorite soups, but ingredients have way way to much salt for me.

Tried this tonight and it was so delicious. Used fresh tomatoes from my husband's garden, about 7 medium; and omitted the jar of chunky tomato pasta sauce and canned tomatoes. Added about a teaspoon of Hymalian Sea Salt. Served it with a fresh baked Pillsbury Rustic French Bread and it was a heavenly meal.
